Hi Dimples and WELCOME ~ You've come to the right place.

Perhaps you'll get more responses on the Spinal Disorders forum here. If you scroll down on the list of forums, you'll find it.

I know what you're going thru. I've been a "spiney" for the last 25 years, and have had those same symptoms. It's awful and very painful. Do your docs have you on any medications for that?? Currently, I'm taking Topamax for that kind of nerve pain. I'm on 400mg per day and it keeps it pretty much under control. I no longer have the burning/stinging/zapping/feeling of water running down my legs like I used to have. thank God!! It's hard to sleep or even cope when it's like that!

If you aren't on any meds for it, talk with your doc and tell him you need something for nerve pain ~ for the neuropathy. You shouldn't have to suffer like this.

As I said, join us on Spinal Disorders ~ God bless and best of luck! Hugs, Lee
