Peppermint Patty, the pain was extreme. On a scale of 1 to 10; it was more than a 10. I absolutely couldn't lie in bed. I "had" to get up. Once I got into the recliner, the pain subsided enough to catnap. After seeing the doctor, and getting on the Pentoxifylline (blood thinner) three times a day, it was much better.

Right now, I'm only taking the Pentoxifylline once at night and Gabapentin twice a day. (I don't like taking too many meds.) But my feet are vibrating like crazy. Occasionally, I feel some of the other pain too.

Does that answer your question?

Nide44, thanks for your advice. I'll see if I can get an appointment with a vascular doctor. I can't help wondering if it may be vascular, but I know nothing about vascular issues. That's why I asked if you all knew.
