Does laying down make your neuropathy worse?

Posted by yojimbob @yojimbob, Oct 13, 2023

When I lay down for a while my neuropathic pains get worse . Especially early in the morning before I rise . When I get up and walk around the pain is much less .

Have any of you tried Ryoku EMS Massager? It's a neuromuscular Electric Stimulation technique and massages your legs, feet, etc.? Is it another scam?

Reading all of these pain issues wondering why I read no mention of Gabapentin for serious pain relief. Taking 500mg 3X daily without pain or minimal if present. Definitely some memory issues I deal with rather than pain.

I am taking 400 mgs 3 times a day. Do you think the 500 would help

Personally I now take 200am, 100 afternoon and 300 at night. Everyone reacts differently to different dosages. Might try the 500 3X to evaluate difference. For me I’m always trying to lower if my body allows. Gaba not good for my memory.
