So glad you stuck with the Lyrica - just sorry it took so long for the side effects to diminish. Mine was not that long at all, and the blessed relief is so great. You are right, not 100%, but so much better and with the help of Tramadol, I am much more a functioning person.

I was at the doctor exactly four weeks ago and he asked about my walking. Now everyone here knows how HARD IT IS to walk on feet that hurt, but I was determined to try it. We have a mall close by that allows walkers (actually has very few stores open!) and I have been walking EVERY day except four of the past month at least 1 mile and sometimes more. On the nice days, I walk around my neighborhood.

You know the old knock on wood....well.....my feet feel SO MUCH BETTER after walking and sometimes it carries me through the whole day where they feel almost NORMAL! On the day after that I don't walk, I can sure tell it. The first week was pure torture, but it has gotten better and better ever since. Walking has become part of my daily routine now.
