Hi Carol @summertime4, I also have nueropathy which has been diagnosed as idiopathic small fiber PN. I only have the numbness and no pain. I posted what helps me in an earlier post on Connect here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/anyone-here-dealing-with-peripheral-neuropathy/?pg=42#comment-65985

I also have a few other autoimmune conditions and have swelling mostly in my right leg which went on for quite awhile before I was diagnosed with lymphedema. The treatment for my diagnosis is the fun of wearing compression socks (knee high). Have you asked your doctor about the swelling in your left foot and toes?

I have no medical training or background but I wouldn't think the Gabapentin is responsible for the swelling. Here's a list of the side effects: https://www.rxlist.com/neurontin-side-effects-drug-center.htm#overview

Hi Carol, I have small fiber neuropathy in both feet with the numbness going upward nearing my knees. I also have, despite the numbness, a great deal of pain in both feet along with swelling of feet and ankles that has been dx as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. I do not take any meds for it as I am allergic to just about everything! I do take diurectics and use lidocaine prolocaine cream along with lidoderm patches. I use a power chair around the house and a cane outside. I see pain management and have obtained relief for a short period of time. I also have a spinal cord stimulator implanted that is great for letting me do what I am able. It is tough when your feet hurt all the time. Haven't been able to learn how to walk on my hands yet. Keep talking and searching. It does one so much good as well as helping others.

Yes, was t sure of why but doc said not because of neuropathy now I guess I do I’m on 3600 mg a day. Guess it’s that.swelling gotten worse though in both feet and hands.
