It's caused me to stop doing one of the most favorite things I love 5K's and half marathons. At work I find myself, limping people always ask me if my back hurts. What are other people's experiences with this? One of the podiatrists at work has asked me to come to her office after work on Monday she's a treatment supposed to help. Any advice?

I used to have neuropathy bad. I was put on gabapentin, and it helped greatly. some days were worse than others. I slowly weened off the gabapentin and I started using a tens unit. I have had much better luck with that. In fact, just last week, my symptoms have been creeping back in, so time to get the unit back out. So far it is just bothersome when I am trying to relax to go to sleep.

Neuropathy for me, was a problem after going to bed. Would keep me awake for hours. What I have found is using medical marijuana 30 mins to bedtime relieves the neuropathy and pain in my calf & thigh.
