Problems with feet ????

[REG53]

I am having intense burning on bottoms of feet mostly rt foot. My dr. first upped my neurontin to 3600mg. a day did not help so he added 400 mg tegetol did not help so he added hydrocodone said to give it a wk., well the last two days have only gotten worst I can hardly walk now.

Tomorrow I will call dr. back. What next? I don't know.

If the epidural helped the same kind of pain, then that pain is most likely due to some kind of musculoskeletal problem with your spine, not MS.

A pain specialist may help you feel less pain, but they won't help you get rid of the cause. You should really see a physiatrist or ortho doc to deal with the root cause.

I agree. If it was MS, it would not respond so well to pain meds, including an epidural with direct meds.

I talked to the NP today. Taking me off the Hydrocodone and adding cambalta. Hope this will help.

My cocktail of gabapentin and amitriptilyne stopped working a month or so ago. We're trying to switch Lyrica in for the gabapentin. Today is the first day of 100mg 3X/day for the Lyrica. I think this is the max does.

I'm still taking 3600mg/day gabapentin. So far the results as just OK. Some improvement but the pain is still there.

I'm only taking 50mg/day amitriptilyne so I think there is some upward movement available
