@phyllisq Hi Phyllisq, yes the Gabapentin helps with the burning in the thighs. I know this because I decided to get off of it and the burning was intense, so I started it up again and burning again is minimal.My PT had me do curbs yesterday, at first I said no, cant do it. He had me hold his finger and I could do it. I told him that is all I need to be grounded. He insist I do it without holding his finger, I hesitated he said I am strong and I wont fall, he had faith in me, said if I was to fall there would be too much paper work for him. He gave me courage, if he knew I could do it, I should know that I could do it without holding on to something. Deep breath and I stepped down, easy peasy!! I turned and went back up, I did this 10 times!! I DID IT!! Then onto some mulch, no problem with that, because he believed in me and in turn I believed in myself.. I need to continue with just saying I can do it, and I can. My next challenge is sand! We live near the beach, I will try this with my daughter very soon! Exercise is key and squeezing glutes is a must! Keep trying and never say you cant, but do it safely! Best wishes to you!!
