burning feet

Hi,

My 17 year old daughter has a partial complex seizure disorder and has been on Keppra for 11 years (other meds before that.) In December we raised her levels by 50% b/c she was having dizzy spells. They have since stopped. In February she started having a burning pain on the tops of both feet. It is debilitating! She's had xrays and an mri of both feet...totally normal! We've had thyroid testing done, cbc, cmp, magnesium and zinc. Only thing that came back abnormal was her magnesium, which was a tiny bit low (1.9 instead of 2.0). I'm thinking this is some sort of neuropathy. Maybe it's related to the increase in Keppra? Does anybody have any ideas???? Thanks so much!
