Raiculopathy and neuropathy?!
Question: How many of you suffer as I do with radiculopathy and peripheral neuropathy? I have scoliosis, a ruptured disc, sciatic nerve damage and then my feet started feeling like my heels were on fire at night when I go to bed. My toes and front part of my feet are always as cold as ice at night.They also feel numb and feel like they are 3 times as big as they are. My heels burn so bad that I can't stand for even the sheet on my bed to touch them. Are there any meds for this, or do people like me just have to live with it?

do you take neurontin?
lyrica?
obviously you are under medical care. waht'd the doc say??
surely you can't just be living with this. there are options. it hurts me that you are living this way.

i have seen the anti seizure medication (Gabapentin) used to treat neuropathy. I don't know about radiculopathy. This is a nerve/nerve root problem.
Probably structural. could be PT vs Surgery
