Pins and needles during exercise?

Seems that after tread mill walking - 3 miles, moderate rate - my lower legs are highly sensitive and on fire. Very uncomfortable, so I have stopped such exercise, in favor of just walking around the neighborhood.
Also, I have to ask: does Gabapentin 'cause' or 'aggravate' my PN (feet, lower legs only so far, but spreading up the legs). I started taking small dose (300) about 6 years ago for what appeared as restless leg syndrome. I had muscle cramps and unease at night, so my doc prescribed Gab to see if would work. Muscle cramps and leg muscle spasms reduced, but only because I started taking Apple Cider Vinegar supplements, which reduced the cramping almost completely. I am just wondering if the Gab aggravates the PN.

I have had neuropathy for many years & the discomfort continues to get worse but comes in waves. I take 350mg of Lyrica daily. Walking for any short distance is difficult because of lower back pain caused by the stiffness of my feet, but I can ride my road bike 20 miles or more without much discomfort. My feet are numb most of the time with minimal pain but I do sometimes get pains & cramps up my calves.
For relief I take a cramp med (OTC) that dissolves under the tongueI & I do some medical cannabis tinctures with CBD & THC for pain - a CBD only tincture for relaxation plus occasional THC gummies also for relaxing & sleep. None of this is a cure but it certainly helps me deal with it all, without side effects.
