My pain is mostly in my feet and legs. Besides the burning, I get the weird stuff like feeling like I have been bitten or stung, the feeling that my feet are "broken" or sprained, feeling like water running over my feet or lower legs, light touch triggering jerk reactions, the feeling that my toes are being pulled out, or smashed under a huge weight, buzzing feelings, or like I am walking on broken glass or sharp rocks . . . all the fun stuff. I have to alternate shoes because what works one day doesn't work the next . . .

I take Norco (reduced acetominophen Vicodin) and I use medical marijuana . . . and I use yoga breathing and relaxation techniques. Breakthrough pain is an issue, but I do give myself permission to just hurt sometimes.
