Pain, as you know is relative. But I dont think your pain sounds all that different from mine. I think they oversell “the no pain” or “less pain” and I think it is a crime to give gabapentin to anyone. That makes you confused, dizzy and unsteady. They need to give you real solutions to deal with pain not anecdotal baloney centered around gabapentin. Gabapentin has failed to provide relief in almost every study. It’s like the Tylenol fairy story which American rheumatologists finally admitted does nothing for bone pain.
