Thank you Teresa. I had the stroke on 2/6/2019 during the course of an aortic valve replacement. I was fully functional before, but after surgery I was paralyzed on my right side, and I could not speak. I have had all of the rehab that the insurance company will pay for. I am now able to speak after a fashion, and I have limited use of my right hand and arm. But now I have right foot and leg pain and cramps that awaken me every couple of hours and I can't get back to sleep. My neurologist prescribed Neurontin, but it's not helping

Hi, @captainmidnight - you've been through a lot since the time of the aortic valve replacement.

That would be very hard to sleep with the foot and leg pain and cramps you described. Are you continuing to experience these? If so, have you connected with your doctor about a change in prescription or other treatment?
