I hope someone can help...My husband was recently diagnosed with neuropathy. The pain began about 3 weeks ago while in bed. He woke up with his leg feeling cold, but on fire inside. This happened just a few times, but since then it happens about 5 to 7 times a night and the pain has graduated to his rectum and lower back. His legs feel "numb" when he sits or lays down...Sometimes when he's standing. It's not a constant pain, but very very frequent. When he gets out of bed, his legs are "wobbly." he went to the Dr.'s and was told to take neurontin...100 mg 2xd. So far.......Only about 3 days, this has not helped at all. "the Dr. Also wants to do a sleep study test to rule out sleep apnea. Does anyone have any information on this? This is all new, and as he drives truck for a living, it's essential we get a jump start on this. Thanks for your time.
