I wanted to check back into the thread i started and give a general update and ask some questions. So since my last post not a whole lot has changed although I think ive possibly met some doctors that can help. At this point im pretty sure I have something more than just a trapped nerve or injuy, but i can hope.

A few weeks ago I had several good days of just light tingling, I got excited and tried to shoot basketball by myself for 10 minutes. While doing so, i felt great and my feet didnt hurt while doing so. Well within a couple hours my feet, ankles, legs had random hot sensations, pin/needles, vibrations. Pretty uncomfortable, not screamly painful but enough to really bother me. Also for up to a week after that my feet were more painful, and only calmed down a couple days ago.

So for you other PN suffers is it common that you feel fine when you are on your feet, being active, and it doesnt hurt until after?

Ive had more blood work done by a Rhuemy and a new Neurologist, I'm also supposed to get the dreaded brain MRI to rule out MS. I REALLY hope that is not the case... Lately Ive been looking at this possible DX called Benign fasciculation syndrome. Other than fasciculation its been known to result in nerve pain, exercise intolerance, fatigue, etc. It also often presents itself during times of overexertionand mental stress, both of what i was experiencing when this all started.

I've dropped off the Gabapentin after a month, 900mg a day wasnt doing much except making me spacey. I started Amitrityline, hoping that helps with pain and depression.
