It has helpd me in 2 different ways... First in 1999... after I had a hunting accident and was accidentally shot in the left thigh (long story if anyone wants to hear it... the bullet clipped the nerve that supplies sensory feeling to the outer calf and top of foot... sorry, I'm not a doctor... think its the tibial nerve... anyway, after a week, I was put on gabapentin for the hyper sensory feeling.... I weened myself off after almost 5 years... then, in 2006, is when i started having nerve issues in both feet... So, was put on the gabapentin again... I'm on the maximum dose (3600 mg per day)... hopefully, I can start weening myself off again...
