Hello @kenny449, I would like to add my welcome to Connect along with @grannyzoo and others. I saw your other post in another discussion that you are now taking almost 1000mg gabapentin a day and it doesn't help your pain at all, and you are also having a fuzzy feeling now.

If it's only one leg, I'm wondering if something other than neuropathy is causing your leg pain.
Is the severe pain only in one leg? Have you told your VA doctor about the fuzzy feeling side effects?
