Again, I'm so sorry about your reaction! I read the TKR posts on my various FB groups, and what they have gone through with their recoveries scare me so much that I've put this off for so long! I am always told to remember that everyone is different, every experience, etc, but it's hard not to be so scared! I truly hope you will feel so much better very soon! BTW, did you try the gabapentin? I know it's specifically for nerve pain..

Hi Cathleen

Thank you

Yes I took one Gabapentin last night...Did not help ..I think you have to keep taking them ...I
hate taking meds especially this ...I will try it again tonight .....The PA told me to take three at bedtime ...No way will I take three

I wish I could tell you the right thing to do .....It of course has to be your decision but if you have no pain and the Dr is not pushing you ..you do have some leeway ...

I wish you luck no matter what you decide .....
