Help, my foot is on fire. I usually don't get burning pain like this. It feels like some one lit a match and is moving it back and forth under my toes and arch of foot. My toes are really purple today and swollen a little. Also my leg is itching really bad.

I had a lumbar sympathetic block done on wed and it was working really well. My pain was only a 1-2 till sat when it became a 3 which is still really good! Now it is on fire.

My regular pm doc has been on vacation so this other pm doc has been doing my blocks. I told him the darvocet was not helping for the pain between the blocks so he gave me elavil. I started at 25-50mgs at night. Then when I saw him on wed I told him all it did was help me sleep better. He increased my dose to 75-100mgs at night. He says it is supposed to make the darvocet work better. All it did was make me sleep walk into my bedroom wall!! Ouch!!

Well, now that I'm done venting, Is their anything to make the burning stop? I don't get another block till thur and I think I may need to hack my leg of by then.

Well thanks for any help you can give. Hope everyone is having low pain days.
