have you done any research on the meds you are taking, I have noticed several on the board that have discovered that some of the parkinson meds will cause painful legs. Cant remember about neurotin,but would be well worth the effort to research.
Hey there, thanks for the reply. I'm terrible at over-researching things and not working enough on my thesis (in med research). The neurontin has only helped my symptoms, quite a bit, it's just that I've gradually had to increase my dose to 3000mg. The DA drugs I've tried so far just don't do anything to my legs, good or bad.
Thank god my shingles went away completely. It was only in my arm. So from what I'm told, there's no way it could be linked to my leg pain some time later. Coincidence, I guess.
I'm so confused and so tired.... and still not 100% convinced this is rls, but I've been wrong before.
