Regarding neuropathy. How did you findo ut you had it? also, Do you have bad back pain also? How would that fit in (I'm unsure). I have pretty significant pain on one side of my back, from the PSIS area...down into glutes and piriformis. There seems to be some nerve compression because when that's bad, the cramping and shocks in my foot are bad, to include tops of foot, sole and occasional toe shocks. Discs look ok and EMG was negative so the y are looking at other causes. I'm assuming that EMG would show neuropathy?

My pain is only in my toes. I had an EMG by my neurologist after I checked everything else with my podiatrist. Any back pain I have is not related to my peripheral neuropathy (PN). Sounds like you have sciatica pain which can be quite extensive nerve pain, not just in the peripheral nerves. My PN is associated with diabetes. Though the meds used are probably the same if it is nerve pain. My next stop is pain management.
