Titles says it all - my nerve pain is getting so bad; I’ve been on most of the anti-convulsants over the years but none of them really hit the spot. The worst area is my feet/lower legs - unbearable burning. It’s now so bad that after just a short time on my feet, I’ll be in agony for hours. I’m very worried I’m going to have to give up work.
I mention the patches as my mother-in-law, who sadly has awful pain due to cancer, is using lidocaine patches to help with her back pain (she has lung cancer). Would these work on my feet? I know the mechanism of nerve pain is very different, but I jsut want some relief. I just wondered if anyone had used them.
