Gabapentin
"20 years plus of left arm pain.  Been on just about everything from aspirin to 180mg morphine 3x a day. I am a veteran from the marine corp so my meds came from the VA.  But I was given this medication once and I took it for a day and it did not work, so I set it aside. I took myself of all meds except Ultram.   Started to take to much. M.D told me better take it easy or you will be cut from meds at VA. Once again I was prescribed gabapentin.  Three times a day.  After a week of taking it, I thought to myself WOW what's going on here.  Cutting back on Ultram and this stuff is working.  I have been through so so, so, much.  I have thought about harming myself because of my pain. First thing that works. Thanks for helping people like me."
