You might want to ask her to see an Anesteolgist to do the block. A lot of them have offices now where they do the blocks there.

I too have the PF and wear New Balance shoes that my Dr. recommended. I know not to walk too much and the summer is worse on it. The heat makes it act up more along with being on the feet.

The weight thing gets to me. My Dr. has used that on me because I gained 15 lbs on Lyrica, I finally told him I knew better then that. I have since lost 10 lbs but my Cholestral hasn't went down. I had him to go back over my chart and showed him that it was just as high without the extra weight. I think the weight thing is a sellout.

Good luck on finding the answers.
