Back at ya, @allessio77 . I was prescribed Tramadol(50 mg 3x/day). Gabapentin(100mg 3x/day), and diazepam(I forget dosage). The first few days left me very dizzy. I was contemplating cutting some of the pills in half, but soldiered on. After about a week, the dizziness let up and things evened out. I was eventually able to get back on my bike and ride 30-40 miles a week, something I had not been able to do for almost two years. Like I said, numerous orthopedic surgeons had looked at my chart, scans, etc. and told me point blank: "There's nothing else that can be done. Just learn to live with it". That's why it is so important to advocate for yourself.
I wish you much success on your journey. "If God be for us, who can be against us?".
