I seem to be a little better in the morning, and I can get by on fewer/less meds at night, but there are multiple factors involved.

No question I have spinal issues, but when I asked about nerve compression being a/the cause of PN, it was shot down because mine is close to equal in both feet, and (neuro said) PN from compression tends to be more one-sided/unequal.

I have some pretty severe (at times) peripheral edema as well (also dismissed as a PN cause) which can be as/more painful than the PN, and it certainly aggravates the PN. It's the edema that gets (understandably) better in the mornings, which may also make the PN less severe.

I tend to be worse (all pain issues) whenever I'm most active.

At the moment, I'm not on gabapentin.
