Hi, my name is Evie. I recently been diagnosed with neuropathy in my fingers and in my feet and toes. I also have restless leg syndrome, but in the last two months it's gotten severe. It's constant. All day and night. My doctor gave me Gabapentin 100mg ×3 a day but I recently got a migraine injection called Emgality that's been giving me chest pain and the Gabapentin seems to be making it worse. I've tried Gabapentin years ago at 400mg when I just had the RLS and didn't have any problems, but stopped taking it when I exercized my legs well. But now nothing works. Any advice?

Welcome Evie @archermac15, Since you didn't have any bad reactions from the Gabapentin when you were on it before, do you think it might be an allergic reaction from the Emgality? Have you discussed the chest pain with your doctor?

@archermac15 Hello, Evie, I'm Rachel, it's nice to meet you.. I've taken Emgality injections for migraines but never experienced chest pain. Do you work with a neurologist who prescribes both Emgality and Gabapentin? Have you let your doctor know about the chest pain?

You mentioned exercising helped RLS in the past? Do you continue to exercise?
