A member asked:

What type of burning pain(feet) does gralise help relieve?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Neuropathic pain.: This includes post-herpetic neuralgia (complication of shingles), diabetic neuropathy and possibly restless leg syndrome (which doesn't really cause burning pain). However, Gralise, altho it's chemically nearly identical to gabapentin, is FDA approved only for post-herpetic neuraolgia. Helpful?
