My problem started by waking me up at 3 in the morning with a sharp
electrical like pain that was excrutiating in my right outer foot. I
had never experienced such pain or type of pain I was having. I went
to the hospital and they could not tell me what it was they just
prescribe pain killers that did nothing to help me. I went to my
doctor later that week because I kept getting zapped in my foot. She
refered me to a neurologist who said he does not know why I have
this problem since I am not diabetic. He prescribed pms-gabapentin
which I have not started to take yet...I am afraid to start the
medication. I get different pains now since my original first
episode with this. I now get burning and sore pressure like walking
on buble wrap when I'm sitting. I also starting to get pain in my
other foot too. It's like very painfull needles in my foot. Why is
this happening to me? Any thoughts? I did have a flu like episode
before this started and did also have a filling that broke and I was
eating the mercury that was breaking up slowly. I am trying to find
out why this has started. Any thoughts out there? Anything thougths
would be appreciated I am 46 yeard old female. Thanks to all that
reply. Regards, Rachel
