Neuropathy-leg atrophy

[Guest guest]

Hello all,

I was having trouble with neuropathy in my feet. I thought it might

have been brought on by taking Lyrica (I know that is what they

prescribe it for, but seemed to make my feet worse, but made my

shoulders/neck better).

Now that pain is coming back and I'm not on any nerve pain meds. The

side effects are too much for me to go to school and work full time.

But now that the pain is worsening, I'm very scared.

Also, my muscles in my legs are starting to atrophy (my PT noticed

this) and I'm having constant leg cramps and spasming, even though

I've been more active. I am also not digesting my food properly,

which I'm told is also from neuropathy.

Has muscle atrophy happened to anyone else with Neuropathy? I'm

really starting to freak out.

Thanks for any responses/help you can give.
