Kitty,

I have always had a problem with my legs aching. I usually get some relief with heat from an electric blanket wrapped around them. My neuro isn't very happy to hear I use heat but that's what works for me.

It's interesting that OTC meds help your pain. My neuro told me a long time ago that OTC pain meds will not help neuropathic pain and for me this has been true.

If I treat my pain with OTC medication and it doesn't help I know it's neuropathic.
