just be sure you get a correct diagnosis from him before asking for any certain medications...they don't like it much when a patient does that...but if you're doctor does agree thats its nerve pain he will most certainly tell you about gabapentin but just INCASE he doesn't than I would mention it to him and see what he has to say...good luck....let us know how you make out
yes im going to see him next week thanks for the advice. like before i had this surgery i couldn't stand straight because my backed was curve but this sharp pain only happens when i try to stand up straight but thanks for the advice if it is a pinched nerve i will ask him about that medication ty opus88
hi sorry for you're pain...sounds like it could very well be a pinched nerve, having that myself I know how painful that can be.
You need to report this to you're doctor and he can recommend treatment, they aren't likely to recommend surgery for that.
If he feels that pinched nerves are the problem ask him/her abt the medication called gabapentin/neurontin. I have been on this for a few years and it does give some refief to the burning/shooting pain. It doesn't work for everyone though. good luck
