mrsd just wanted to report back and thank you for your advice. I was on Allopunrinal for several weeks and in the time my P/N just got worse and worse daily including painful electric shock shooting pains so I assumed it was progressing. Since stopping the Allopurinol it has instantly dropped back to just mild burning which is no problem as I live in Thailand so sandals are the norm however I will pick your brains a little if I may?
Since day one my right foot has been worse than the left and since day one it has been slightly swollen but only noticeable to me for example if I stand you can see the veins on my left foot but not my right. This gives me a slight limp when I walk due to niggling minor stabbing pain. The pain is mostly in the soft tissue in the arch of my foot and only when I walk or stand. My rheumatoligist who is aware of nerve damage has given me Prednisolone 5 mg x6 per day if I get Chronic Gout Pain. This swelling I don't believe is gout as Ive had it for over a month however the Prednisolone is very effective and take it occasionally to stop the swelling which doesn't appear to be Neuro related. I also take 200mg of celebrex per day.
Question

1.Is it dangerous take Predisolone for long periods?
2.What supplements can I use to help the swelling? you can see on my op what supplements I am taking.
3. What do you think maybe causing the swelling? I have only started taking low dose Lyrica 75mg/day in the last few days and the swelling started well before that

Thanks in advance
