Thanks for the replys guys.
Mrs D, I have seen a podiatrist & an ortho surgeon. I have had xrays & ultrasoudns & a full blood screen ( vit B, diabetes, inflamatory markers, gout & loads more). Nothing has shown up as yet, but lots has been ruled out....including the things already mentioned by yourself. The ortho agreed with my gp that it was PN, but at the moment no know cause.

Brue, thanks for your reply.It sounds the same as I feel. It started with burning, & pins & needles, but then gradually got worse.The pain is so bad at the moment. Lyrica did nothing for me & I am on amitriptyline at the moment, but not doing anything yet.

I have see a neuro in November & also have been referred for a nerve conduction test, so will see what that shows.
