    The side of the interstate is the best place to walk. If you go into truck stops or rest areas, you’ll likely get blocked in and can’t get out.

    Tip: Carry a little one gallon gas can with you when you walk down the interstate. That way no one will be wise to what you’re really doing. Savvy?

    No, I have no numbness, just pain.

    Never stop on the side of Highways in a truck, car or anything unless it’s a true emergency. Also you have to watch out for @Frank Speak sometimes.

    My MRI is normal. My EMG and nerve conduction tests are normal. My strength, sensation, and reflexes are also normal. I have no numbness and weakness. I just have burning pain. I can honestly tell them everything. And my doctor should give me a letter stating that I am stable on Gabapentin. The other two drugs are for when I am going to bed. Truckers do go to bed and sleep so I am not an exception.

    If it’s not too personal, what’s the explanation for the neuropathy?

    It is nerve damage in legs/feet. It is painful. Doc said vitamin b12 defenciency may have caused it in my case.

    I am here primarily to get comments regarding the medications that I am on and if they can go along with trucking. Anyone on these medications, anyone?
    Thanks
