Let me see if I can answer these:

1. Mine are in the lower back, usually when sittiing.
2. Yes, they stop when, and IF I sleep, which is at a premium.
3. The "diagnosis" is neuropathy.
4. It's not from an injury ~ it's from degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, osteoarthritis, severe sciatica, etc.
5. I have pricks, burns, feeling of water, hot-poker, from the legs down

As i said, the Topamax takes care of the symptoms except for the "tremors" which started about 6 months ago. I have NOT mentioned it to my doc yet. i thought it was all in m head, and besides we've been trying to get my pain under control, and these tremors weren't first on my mind. LOL

I don't mind the questions. My life is an open book. hugs, Lee
