Upon awakening from my 3 level Prodisc, both my legs were completely numb. I immediately started on Neurontin and a course of steroids. Within days, my right leg began to come back but... both legs became extremely hypersensative. The touch of the blanket or even a breeze on my legs was excrutiating. This pain lasted for about 6 months, during which time I was on Dilaudid, a narcotic. I couldn't drive but this pain was so severe, I welcomed however relief came.
Take what you need for your comfort and when you capable, decide how to best deal with your pain. I hate pills but am grateful they're there for me if I need them.
