Restless Leg Syndrome, All Through The Body. Big Toe, Foot Numb. No Relief With Neurotin. Cure?
I have restless leg syndrome and it is all through my body all of the time now. My left big toe has gone numb and the top of my right foot. I am on Neurotin and don't get any relief at all. This is affecting my life to the point that I have to leave a restaurant to go out and walk off the feeling. It's driving me crazy! I made a Neurologist appointment but can't get in until Oct. 28th. I would appreciate your opinion.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
You know this disease as you described in your query is not a localized as left thumb and right foot i.e. systemic disease.
You took neurotin( B comlex ,gabapentin) but this was only for deficiency of Vitamin .
Please mention the following history of illness and also we require ,
Age,
Sex,
diabetic ,
Hypertension,
Cholesterol ,
SMOKING .
May be due to arterial occlusion , peripheral diabetic neuropathy,
Hypercholestrolaemia, Lumbo-sacral disease .
So get in Blood pressure report and upload all reports.
Don't wait so long , if possible consult a physician at once as disease is progressing.
Good luck.
Dr. HET
