What Causes Chronic Foot Pain Despite Taking Indomethacin?
I went to the doctor with foot pain in my left foot toward the Big toe and the long toe adjacent to it ? My doctor prescribed a five day (3 times a day INDOMETHACIN 50 MG TRIAL) I m on day four 2nd pill ... one tonight and last one tomorrow a.m. My foot is on fire! Burning and I can t put weight on it? Is there anything else that brings relief to this foot pain?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Since there has been no relief from your pain with the use of this medication, you need to see your doctor for stronger medication to be given.
You may need a combination of medication for pain relief.
If you are experiencing burning, one of the medications given may need to be for neuropathy (abnormal function of the nerves).
Neuropathy can cause burning sensation. Medication such as amitriptyline, tegretol, lyrica, gabapentin
I hope this helps
