Hoping to gain both advice and support.. Ive been dealing with 'peripheral Neuropathy for 7 years following an ankle fracture . NO FUN! I feel like so much of my active life style has been taken away ... I have tried just about every modality .. But keep hope that if I build muscle strength I will keep balance , cover more distances, climb stairs and will be better deal with sudden SHARP spikes in pain that feel like a HORNETs nest. The realization that If I favor my ankle then the knee gets involved. OUCH!
Gabapentin sent me into hallucinations!

Have you done any research on your condition?
