This forum is a wonderful discovery and I am hoping someone can provide me with advice.

I'm a young 58 who developed plantar fasciitis last spring from overwalking on a trip. Rest was improving this greatly and then I used a shovel digging up weeds, alternating both feet for over an hour. The result: nerve damage from the trauma. Physical therapy was helping but after I tried some aggressive stretches, boom, I developed searing burning pain in my heels and entire soles. Ice made it worse and so does any PT. The doctors thought I had CRPS (Complex regional pain syndrome) and neuropathy, now they're not sure about the CRPS. My skin nerves (entire body) are hypersensitive, as well as my feet to clothing, socks, shoes, etc. Any lotion burns, even exposing my skin to the sun. The burning wakes me up in the morning and hurts all day long. I can only be on my feet for a few minutes and must walk otherwise with crutches. Pacing has helped but I used to be so active and this came on so suddenly. As the day goes on my feet get become fire-engine red and hot. The symptoms keep spreading over the sides of the feet and include some pitting edema. I do use epsom salt baths.

My treatment includes plenty of supplements, Fish oil, alpha lipoic acid, L-carnitine, super B with C, glucosamine chondroitin, calcium/D. I also take gabapentin but couldn't tolerate any other meds. Now I'm trying neurofeedback training to relax and hyperbaric oxygen treatments. Acupuncture left stinging in my nerves for 2 weeks.

Does anyone have any Reputable suggestions? Please give me hope that the progression can stop and actually heal.
THANK YOU!
