I just joined today. My neuropathy is in my toes. I had spinal surgery and the neuropathy started right after the surgery. I only have the pain in my toes as soon as I go to bed for the night. You would think my toes had a brain!! I take Gabapentin but it affects my balance the next day. What is the recommended dose? I am 85 years old and weigh 145 lbs.

Welcome @yvie, Sorry to hear your neuropathy started after your spinal surgery. Gabapentin can help with the pain but does come with it's own set of side effects. Have you discussed the side effects with your doctor or pharmacist to see if they have a recommendation on the dosage?
