Guest guest Posted July 16, 2000 Report Share Posted July 16, 2000 For dress shoes you might try this company http://www.dressease.com I am not sure if they are out West or just on the eastcoast. I personally have never tried them. My lifestyle is such I don't need dress shoes. I absolutely love New Balance 752 or 753 Cross Trainers. They work well with my orthotics. For pain: I still think Elavil(amitriptyline) is by far the best and it seems to work for me best.It is an older, tried and proven med for nerve pain, besides depression. And it helps my balance. I tried Neurontin for 1 year. Just quit taking it. Very expensive, had to keep taking it through the day ( what a pain) and also, while in SOME cases it does help with nerve pain, recently I found some negative articles which made me think about quitting it. Neither one knocks me out. I have also taken Robaxin this year. Good for muscle relaxant. You can drive on Robaxin too. It won't knock you out. Tylenol Extra Strength Gel Caps work well for me too. I have taken Anaprox for years and quit taking it, but it worked for awhile. I swim, walk, bike and garden when I can. Also play piano, work at home as a writer. But my Dr. has 'grounded' me from the exercise due to a disc problem in my lower back. I am in the midst of this.It's been 5 months. Had 3 epidural cortisone injections, only worked about 35%. In addition I swear the cortisone kicked off my tremor problems. I am 47. Gretchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
