Hi all, just got my second leg brace, so now I do the "frankenstein walk" when I have both braces on and dont have my crutches nearby. They seem to help alot with pain from muscle strain since the motor nerves in my ankles are not working correctly. I also have alot of pain in my feet and take a combo of Gabapentin, Cymbalta, and a topical Ketamine Lotion. There is still a single spot though, on the inside/bottom of my left foot just below the ankle bone that has alot of pain. Its a very small region, perhaps about the size of a dime. But If I tought it, even slightly it sends pain shooting up my leg. I am wondering if a doc might be able to do some sort of procedure where they deaden the nerves in that specific spot. Has anyone had anything like this done. I dont even know if a doc would consider it. I am managing all the other issues with my Neuropathy well, through excercise, controlling my blood sugar, using the AFO's and my crutches. But that one spot just kills me. I cant really increase the does of gabapentin I am on, in fact I had to reduce it because it was causing bowel incontinence. That is under control now, leaving pain management an issue again.

Ideas? Should I approach my doc about this?
