Hi Carol, welcome to the forum.

I first met Eddie back in 2005 when he came to a patient seminar I hosted. Interesting guy... sorry about all his spine problems and now yours too. Most of the questions you ask are really question for the doctors. I used Neurontin to help with leg pain and it was effective for me. It didn't take it away, but it made it substantially better. I hope that your problems will respond to conservative treatment and you won't need surgery, but if you do... please... do your homework... make informed decisions.

All the best,

Mark
