Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

I too have idiopathic neuropathy in both legs. I saw where you talked about your knees. I'm starting to feel pain in my knee and was wondering if it had something to do with neuropathy. My pcm had a xray done but it didn't show anything. He prescribed diclofenac. I'm trying this to see how it goes. My neurologist has me taking gabapentin 600mg 3 times a day.

I took gabapentin and was a total zombie the whole day! And it affected my liver .

Hello @psmcphail70, Welcome to Connect. I also have idiopathic small fiber PN in my legs but just numbness. I have had pain in my knees but it was from degenerative arthritis and bad knees. Before I had a replacement my primary care prescribed diclofenac but it didn't help much with my pain.

How long have you been diagnosed with neuropathy?
