Check out the peripheral neuropathy forum. I've actually been checking that one out a ton over the past couple months and just gravitated here today wondering if I could get more info here on my issue. There are a couple people in that forum that will give you some great advice to deal with your PN.

And from what I've read, people with neuropathy have all kinds of different feelings, wet, burning, stabbing, buzzy, etc. For your doc to brush off the gravel comment was horrible. I tried Gabapentin but it made me stupid and didn't work well. Currently trying Oxcarbazapine (sp?) and it seems to be working better than the Gaba, so far.
