Gabapentin
"I went to my pain management doctor today & he prescribed Gabapentin 300mg.  I have two tumors that sit on my sciatic nerve.....nights are very tough...can't sleep more than two hours at a time due to the pain.  I'm hopeful that this will help in some way.  My doctor also told me I am a candidate for a pain stimulator.  This is to be inserted into my spine to send medication directly to the affected area and will help relieve me of the pain & oral medications.  I'm so tired of taking daily medications...this is a ray of hope for me.  15 years ago, I was told that I wasn't a candidate for this stimulator.  Thanks to the researchers  they've made huge advancements and now......it's my turn!!!  Any thoughts?????"
