When you say you can feel the neuropathy in your feet, ankles, wrists and hands are you feeling muscle cramps? or is there a better way to describe it?
I hope you can get this figured out. Are you diabetic by chance?
Take care,

Hi Mike
I would think that everyone in life has had leg cramps in the middle of the night one time or another. Maybe after running or playing golf on a hilly course. That's where my problems began.. It became an everyday thing maybe 15 or 20 times a day. Both legs would cramp up with unbelievable pain. First I was given muscle relaxers and pain pills..This went on for months with no real relief. I began to notice my ankles and feet were becoming numb and would tingle. My doctor sent me to a Neurologists that sent me to have an EMG test..If I would have know what that was, I'd jumped off a bridge before the Appt. Non diabetic so far.. I'm lost and so are the doctors. I can still walk but not more than a few hundred feet before I'm locked up.
