@canarsiegirl9, how did the discussion with the thoracic surgeon go? Has your husband's pain resolved or gotten better?

@colleenyoung well Gabapentin was increased to 300mg 3x a day. Not a major relief. Then other drugs that didn’t help. At week five we went to pain management. He suggested a patch that releases meds through out the day for 7 days and continue Gabapentin.
The pain which he said was 7’is now closer to a 5 two weeks in.
Hoping this helps.
