I am new to this resource. I found out last summer that I have heritary neuropathy. There are times that I have so much pain in my legs that I can't be still. I am in a wheelchair because of a failed knee replacement so I can't run or walk. My MDs don't seem to know anything about HP and they just get blank looks on their faces when we discuss pain control. I take gabapentin and soma is what I take, but every two or three days I have a real fit with it.
