I believe gabapentin is pretty effective for nerve pain for most people. I wasn't one of them but my pain has improved over this year. Still tight on deep breaths, but only infrequent outright pain.
I'm calling my doc on Monday because I had right lower lobectomy in January. Everything has healed nicely except by the larger incision by ribs under my right breast. It feels like something moving when I cough, blow my nose, strain having bowel movement, carry bags etc. Then it's sore & then mid back pain. I was thinking gallbladder, but also wondering if possible hernia there. I'd like to hear what you find out too. Has anyone developed a hernia by incision area?
