Sorry the lidocaine cream didn't work for you. It didn't help me either, but at least your doctor tried. Let's hope for the best with the Neurontin and possibly Cymbalta. I think that most of us have gone through trials of a variety of medications to find something that works.

The wheelchair should help you deal with your classes and as I mentioned previously you still have to keep moving, so make sure you don't give in to the temptation at home to start using it. I personally know how tempting that can be. Stay strong. Hope you feel some improvement soon.

I think mine is progressing too. Moving to the other foot. Have an appointment tomorrow and will talk with my doc. So scary to think of it in both feet.

I take Cymbalta and find it does help with the pain. The Neurontin helps a lot, and you have plenty of room there to go up a great deal on the dosage if you and your doctor feel you need it. I hate all the trial and error with meds, and changing things out with them, etc.

I've tried out the iphone app recognize some, this is a good reminder for me to keep using it.
