I have been classified by the VA as having peripheral Neuropathy in both legs, caused by (trying to confirm with VA) Agent-Orange. Anyway, I am 64, work 40 hours a week on my feet on concrete floors. My feet are numb/burn/ache constantly. When I get in bed my legs are in pain, but life goes on. Lately I'm getting "bad-painful, super strong leg cramps in my upper thighs, behind my knee caps and in the calf areas, where I'm jumping out of bed and trying to walk the pain out. This happens 2 to 5 times a week and sometimes while I'm just sitting down and its starting to happen more frequently as of lately.

VA gave me "Gabapentin" to take for pain, but I'm not taking 3-5 pills a day and "fry my liver"! Is there anyone who can explain to me: Is this neuropathy curable? What can I take for the constant pain and muscle-cramps? Can/will these issues get worst? Asking these questions may sound strange but "our-VA" doesn't answer to many questions for us veterans!
