Neuropathy symptoms are worse when I sit or lay down: Anyone else?
Neuropathy | Last Active: Nov 15, 2023 | Replies (101)Comment receiving replies
Symptoms in my feet and lower legs are much worse when I elevate my legs in my recliner to watch television or when I go to bed. Increased tingling and electrical shocks feeling, and my feet feel extremely cold, even with a heating pad surrounding them. To touch them, they don’t always feel cold, but I feel an extreme cold sensation when my legs are elevated. Can anyone else relate?

I have read that you should get up and move around walk every 15 20 minutes for a few minutes.I have neuropathy and degenerative disc they seem to work toghether in stiffness and slight pain.I thank God it is not terrible or even moderately severe like it was after they sent me to physical therapy and my back really flaired up.

Same here! I take Gabapentin 300 mg at bedtime and it helps.
