Thanks. For me, when I woke up in the morning, my fingers and toes were so stiff I had to pry them open. I even went to see a rheumatologist who took X-rays. He said I did not have arthritis. I think it is due to SFN. I added duloxetine (Cymbalta) to the gabapentin, and it made a huge difference in pain level and my fingers and toes. I was hesitant to add an anti-depressant but it significantly lowered the pain level for me including the stiffness in my fingers and toes and the electric shocks.
Left side of *face…didn’t finish the thought apparently 😉
