Hi Doctor, During A THR 20 Years Ago The Doctor
Hi Doctor,
During a THR 20 years ago the doctor cut my femoral artery and damaged the nerves in both of my legs. At night I get severe electric shocks, legs ache all the time and the bottom of my feet are numb. I was on gabrapentin for many years but it does not work anymore. Plus all the side effects are horrible. I tried Lyrica and I did not like that either. In the last couple of years I also get severe leg and toe cramps. Are the cramps caused by the nerve damage. I appreciate your help. Thank You, Mary Schepise
