I've experienced PN in both LE for over 20 years and have been prescribed Gabapentin to control chonic headaches/migraines over a lot of that time. I am currently on 1800mg/daily with several other prescriptions for that, but there has been no noticeable effect on the PN. I have also tried ALA but again, with no noticeable effect. During the interim of years, and more recently, I have tried physical therapy, acupuncture, and now trying compression stockings. Due to foot pain, I also need to wear house shoes (Skectchers) on hardwood flooring (throughout the house).
That said, I am still looking for something which may actually provide some relief from the numbness, burning, and loss of muscle & balance.
