SAMMY,

WERE YOU ON PROVIGIL WHEN YOU DEVELOPED LEG AND FOOT PAIN? AFTER HAVING BEEN ON PROVIGIL FOR ONE YEAR, I DEVELOPED PAIN IN ONE FOOT WHICH HAS MADE WALKING/STANDING FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME VERY DIFFICULT. I'VE SEEN SEVERAL DOCS BUT NO ONE SO FAR HAS COME UP WITH A DEFINITIVE DIAGNOSIS. I'VE BEEN EVALUATED FOR NEUROPATHY, BUT NOT VASCULAR DISEASE. I'M CURIOUS ABOUT YOUR SYMPTOMS. MY PAIN IS QUITE FOCAL IN ABOUT THE CENTER OF THE SOLE OF MY FOOT, SOMETIMES RADIATING TO THE SIDE OF THE ARCH AREA AND SOMETIMES RADIATING INTO MY ANKLES. THE PAIN TYPICALLY ONLY OCCURS WHEN I AM ON MY FEET AND GETS PROGRESSIVELY WORSE THE LONGER I STAND OR WALK TILL IT IS QUITE INTENSE AND I AM LIMPING. I USED TO DO DAILY AEROBIC EXERCISE AND LOVED TO TAKE WALKS BUT HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DO ANY WEIGHT-BEARING EXERCISE AT ALL FOR 8 MONTHS NOW. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED TO STILL NOT KNOW WHAT'S WRONG AND WOULD SEE A CARDIOLOGIST IF IT SEEMED POSSIBLE THAT THIS IS VASCULAR IN NATURE. IT SEEMS DOUBTFUL SINCE ALL INDICATIONS ARE THAT MY HEART IS HEALTHY (BLOOD PRESSURE NORMAL AND LOW CHOLESTEROL), BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THOSE MEASURES ARE NECESSARILY ABNORMAL WITH THE PROBLEM YOU HAVE. MY NEUROLOGIST THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS ORTHOPEDIC AND THE ORTHOPEDIC DOC THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS NEUROLOGICAL--I HAVE NO FURTHER FOLLOW-UP APPTS. FOR THE FOOT PROBLEM WITH EITHER, THOUGH THE ORTHOPEDIC GUY DID GIVE ME NEURONTIN.
