Leg pain

I had a relapse a month ago after a day in town, all of a sudden I had physical pain in my legs knee to foot and my feet were burning and legs sensitive to touch. My ms nurse prescribed gabapentin 300mg 3 times a day but has yet to make a difference. How long do I wait to see a difference before telling the nurse? I've gone from an active walker to barely managing 100 feet, and then suffering for 24 hours afterwards? Sorry for long post x

My legs feel the exact same way, but now it’s spread to my entire body pretty much. Still worse in my legs though. The burning and sensitive to the touch thing bothers me the most. I’m now up to 1200mg of gabapentin 3 times a day. It has yet to do anything for me. Unfortunately I have no idea how long it takes to fully see if it makes a difference. Google says that you should notice a difference in one to two weeks, but it may take longer. It says it may work right away. I hope this helps and that you find relief soon. My doctors appointment is coming up and I think we’re trying lyrica next since I’ve tried the max dosage of gabapentin. Best wishes!
