To Marie, I had a similar problem with needles and tingling in my toes, especially the outer toes. My PCN said it was nerve damage and prescribed Lyrica. This med gave me nightmares as a side effect. He then sent me to a sports medicine specialist who switched and put me on neuronton. Did not help either. Saw a podiatrist and said I had plantar fasciitis . Bought so many shoe inserts for lots of money. Even saw a PT which proved useless. Nothing has helped, I am feeling so depressed and defeated and helpless.

This link has some very useful information with ice treatments, and stretches: http://northcoastfootcare.com/pages/...Fasciitis.html I had this many years ago (a spur was found in my heel too). But with proper shoe support and rest, and the salonpas patches on my heel, it did resolve on its own. I had it for 2 yrs before it finally quieted down. I still have the spur too. If you did receive any fluoroquinolone antibiotic, these are known to damage tendons as well. The mechanism of this is not elucidated yet. But it is thought to be due to DNA damage.

spoke to soon maybe, started having serious side effects after 1 mo. on 300mg Lyrica, started feeling like a zombie , dull headaches, depression and anxiety. Dropped back to 150mg, without much trouble , for a week. Then wondered how much benefit that was. tried to stop it to see, then went into terrible withdrawl pains, headaches, stomach problems, anixity and nerves shot. Started back on 75mg per day helped some, going to try 75mg every other day, am scared to death about how to get completely clear again. They don't tell you how addicted you could get in a short time ,4 mo. altoghter for me. Still I wish I was one of those it helped
