Hi Julie,

I am sorry you are having such a rough time. Did you get any short term relief? And are you still taking the lyrica?

The nearest analog I have was early in my journey I had buzzing on my entire left side that worked its way up from my foot. My whole nervous system seemed to go into overdrive. I ended up on neurontin and over time it calmed down.

I have been a little concerned about your numbness and pain since the beginning because of the ease of injuring the sural nerve on the lateral side of the foot. Does your doc think you have a nerve injury? I checked over your first post and saw Neurochic expressed concerns you may have something else going on. And while nerve injury can certainly cause CRPS it is sometimes its own thing and can sometimes be treated. If you aren't getting anywhere after a while, I stand by getting checked out by the Peripheral Nerve department at LSU.

Sending hugs and hoping you find relief soon,
