Hi all, I have just joined the group and am looking forward to reading some of the info. A car hit me when I was crossing the street and put me in the hospital for a month. This was in 1999. It took me a year to get back on my feet. Neuropathy was present from the beginning. It continues to get worse and I get dizzy when I walk. Does anyone else have that problem ?? I now use a 4 wheel walker to get around. The doctor stopped my gabapentin because it didn't work. Anyone find anything to help the burning in the feet?? Hugs to all. Annie

Hi Annie @annie88, Welcome to Connect. It must be difficult dealing with the pain and neuropathy since getting out of the hospital in 1999. Do the doctors think that being hit by the car damaged nerves in your neck and spine?

Gabapentin helps me a bit but duloxitine gave me much more relief from the pain. I still have numbness. I just started using LifeFlo magnesium lotion on my legs and feet. It is soothing but again no relief from numbness. It’s only two days so I’m hoping it will kick in to help more. In the beginning I had burning in my feet. Now it’s just pain. I try to soak them often in Epsom salts which again has magnesium in it. An old fashioned helper for pain. Hoping you find something to help you ease your pain. God bless.

I wish I could say yes. But nothing works.
