Hi, I am 84, tried gabapentin over 12 years ago, didn't do much. Switched to gabapentin, and it has been very effective, no problem sleeping at all, and although my feet, particularly the soles are very tender, and feel very hot when walking, I can bear it.. My biggest problem is I also have bone on bone in both knees, and because of heart failure and AFib cannot get an operation. To top it all off, lower arteries in calves are again somewhat clogged, so from the knees down my legs feel like they are made of cement, with pain in calves and hot feet. I would really have a hard time but for the pregabalin. Hope that helps Terry
