Peripheral Neuropathy
"I have severe sciatica due to lower back degeneration. I also have what I believe to be lipedema, a fat metabolism disorder which causes severe leg pain. I was told that I had lymphedema and then vascular disease. My legs are symmetrically out of proportion with my upper body and chronically swollen. Very difficult.  Anyway, I&#039;m taking Percocet and  I started pain management last week and the Dr wanted me to try gabapentin again, as I have used it before. I&#039;ve had/have a clotting disorder blood clots. I can&#039;t take NSAIDs. I took it last night and this morning and I actually was able to walk down the stairs. Dr told me gabapentin is NOT for the pain as that is what I thought.  It&#039;s for the inflammation"
