> JacksonHi Jackson, Joellen here. Most of us have some numbness in our feet,
the tingling and pain that may accompany it is from the nerves misfiring
and the message to the muscles doesn't get through right. My new
neurologist had got me on a new regime of Neurontin and elavil to cut
down those feelings and stop the misfiring. I am only up to 900 mgs.
of neurontin so far and not much is going on but I am hopeful that after
I get to the full dose that it will give me some relief.
