Susanne-may I ask what kind/feeling of pain you have in your legs? My neuro thinks I have a "genetic" form of pn. He has never mentioned any treatment for pain and only started me on gabapentin (which did kill most of the electic jolts) but I really did not like how I felt on it and have discontinued taking it. My feet and legs constantly ache and burn. Sometimes my feet feel so swollen, like they will explode, but when I look at them they are perfectly fine. I especially have a hard time walking when I first get up in the morning. I have some hydrocodone (vicodin) left over from a previous surgery and take it every once in a while if they pain becomes unbearable. Are most neuro's open to prescribing pain meds?

Thanks-
