Question re: neurontin/nerve pain
Hi, I had my fusion 1 1/2 years ago. In the last few months, I have developed siatica (sp)? peraformis issues which are causing a lot of nerve pain and I feel like I did at the onset of my accident many years ago. It's a nightmare as I have a little over a great year with my fusion and now it's worse than ever due to nerve pain.
What are peoples experiences with neurontin or any other suggestions for nerve pain which is driving me nuts.
Thanks!
