hi Robert! I have been diagnosed for a few months now and same as
you it isn't from diabetes. My doctor could not give me a reason for
mine. My left legs are considerable worse, they feel tingly and
burning almost constant and now my hands are starting to feel this
way. the meds that i took only made my feet swell very bad and I had
to get off them. I have found that a heating pad helps some of the
time. good luck and I hope that some of the others will be able to
help you better than I can and let me know if they are some help. I
am at a loss at to what this is, almost everyone on here is over 50
and I am only 38. some days I feel sooo much older and it hurts to
move. well wish ya the best! Tina
