PT has never helped Dry needling has helped some.The one thing that helped the most is 75 mg of diclofenac twice a day and 5 mg of Flexeril at night.My primary care Doctor has recommended 100 to 200 mg of Gabapentin taken at night.I tried 100 mg and it didn't help.I am at the point that I will try the 200 mg and see if that helps.I have heard on this site that Gabapentin has helped some people.At my age I will take what helps me as I am 80 years old and don't have that much time left.

Hello
I would definitely try a higher dose of gabapentin. Many people tolerate it well at doses of 1000mg and more per day. I take 600mg as needed for severe nerve pain.It does make me groggy but helps me sleep and move with much less pain. God bless whatever you decide.
