I was diagnosed with radiculopathy when I had the neuropathy in a single toe (the very tip). It started with a sharp jolting attack in my groin/leg while walking at the store, and I fell to the floor in pain.
The doctor suspected a nerve, and prescribed gabapentin.
I have not had a groin event since then, but the toe issue started some time after, and continues a year or two now assumed as the lumbar radiculopathy .
Sometimes the gabapentin + naproxen is not enough, so I apply campho phenique with a cotton q-tip as a temporary numbing.

My PN is in my feet from chemotherapy for breast cancer also have severe lumbar and cervical radiculopathy but never put that together as causing the PN. Makes so much sense. My feet do the electric jolt. And I never know when it will start. I didn't like how gabapentin made me feel and it didn't seem to work. Red wine and diclofenac gel are the only things that help me.
