Burning feet
I've been taking gabapentin (sp) for some time for tingly, prickly, flushing-icy-hot sensations in my legs with great success for at least a couple of years now. The problem is now targeting my feet, especially at night. Any suggestions? I find that Gold Bond foot creams work best for some soothing, but am hoping for more relief (not diabetic neuropathy). Sleepless in upstate NY!

I find the hot/cold sensations in my legs very annoying. Since you're already on Neurontin, maybe you need to up the dose...call your neuro. I do think you can develop a tolerance at a certain dose (the neuro could tell you that.)Originally posted by Mjtandkitties View Post
In a pinch, and especially at night when the icy/hot feeling is on my feet, I put an ice pack on them and it distracts me enough to let me sleep. Not sure why it works but it does.
Hope you find a solution. -
Thank you!Maggie
