nuerontin
by glenn1947, Nov 29, 2007 05:47AM
I have had severe pain in the right temple area since the late '90's. I am on 300 mg of nuerontin 5 times a day. First, what is the long term side affects from this medicine and second, is nerve blocker surgery a safe option? I had an inter-spinal appendamoma, c1-c3, removed in 1990 at the Mayo clinic. My right side was affected. The only way to help the pain is to push my finger against the area. Thank you. Glenn
