I have severe nerve pain in my hands and feet. there are a number of changes occurring and I have no one to ask what to do. My right hand is barely usable. The skin is tight, hard and leathery. My palm is excruciating. It has become rock solid. Is this muscle atrophy? The skin is shiny and it feels like all the muscles and tendons have frozen and become solid.

My hands and feet become swollen regularly with fluid and the skin is loose on the soles of my feet. It's painful to walk on when it's like this. When I had a pain specialist she suggested it could be a side effect of Gabapentin. I'm on 2400mg daily.

My right leg is also now quite a bit thinner than my left so I have muscle wastage too Does anyone have any suggestions? I have no specialist care, just a GP. I want to know if there is any self help I can do. Thanks ( :
