hi vonn,

i have a similar problem with my Lt leg. and thankfully, i can drive too.
i used to be on neurontin, then switched to lyrica and that helped a lot. i still have pain in my leg and foot but much better.

and this is weird but my pain starts to escalate about 5 pm.
heat and massages help but that's minimal.
did you share this with your neuro?

i agree with a PT consult. and if they find something like a gait problem or drop foot they are more apt to have weight when they report to the dr. i think there's also some brace you can wear for drop foot.
's from me too.

it's so hard to deal with all these problems.
