The neuro says mine is idiopathic as perhaps 50% of cases are (no known cause) so there is nothing to treat for hopes of improvement. I take gabapentin 2400mg, chewable Tegretol 200mg three times a day, tramadol for bad pain, and was just given Norco to try in the evenings when it all worsens but it didn't seem to help at ALL. I'm sorry you are suffering, you are not alone!
Hi mountaingirl I was just diagnosed this month also my symptoms have been feet, legs, groin, hands and back. I've started at 75mg Lyrica and still increasing it now to 300mg. My pain is worse when sitting, I get up and my groin is terrible. Seeing my neurologist in 2 weeks hopefully she may help.
