I take just gabapentin, and for 9 years. Now, it's July 11, 2022.
My problem is mainly in my ankles and feet. Three doctors asked me if take gabapentin before I did, I tried pain killers, but they didn't work.

Hello @awroberts111, Welcome to Connect. You mentioned you have been taking gabapentin for your neuropathy pain in your ankles and feet for the past 9 years. It sounds like a good thing that you haven't seen the neuropathy progress further up your legs. I think it's good that you are seeing a neurologist in a few days. Were you diagnosed with neuropathy when the gabapentin treatment was started?

Gabapentin works, as long as I take it on time, now, it's a controlled substance in Virginia, but I don't know why.
