Hello Susan @susantg, Welcome to Connect, an online community where patients and caregivers share their experiences, find support and exchange information with others. I am sorry to hear you are in so much pain in your feet and lower legs. Thank you for sharing a little about your journey with neuropathy. I hope you know that you are not alone and there are many members who can relate to your pain. I am happy that you took the first step in looking for information to help you find some relief.

Are you able to share a little more about your neuropathy diagnosis? Is the pain in your legs and feet worse at night or is it the same during the day?

At night

Thank you for responding. I have had pain in my lower legs for a couple of years. I thought it might be from my vertebrae fractures. I told my doctor and they tested me and showed neuropathy. Said it probably is from my spine, not much you can do.now I have extreme pain in my feet and lower legs. My fractures do not hurt when laying down. The Neuropathy is just terrible. I take Tramadol 50 mg. It seems to help. The pain wakes me up off and on all night. I hope I made some sense. I have a hard time talking about this. So thankful for this site and your interest.
Susan
