@catheem I too had extremely blurred vision and it had no effect on my pain. You mentioned your pain was after knee replacement. A pain specialist told me approximately 25% of patients have pain after surgery. Both my knees are arthritic & very painful and I refuse to have a replacements. I had lumbar fusion & laminectomy in 7/2004 and still have occasional back pain. Unless it is knee replacement or no walking, I'm not doing it.

Greetings, I am the same I have OA arthritis in both knees, I am 65 injured left knee playing sports, age 16 through the years. I had those long kneedles between my knees and was told I need both knee replacement. I suffer with blood clots, and use diabetic neuropathy.
I was put by on gabapentin after another sleep study for RLS.. a few years passed I am give pregabalin 75gm is a low dose it works similar to gabapentin, I had to up the does 150mg it took a few days to work. I feel vitamin B complex and pregabalin 150 -300mg is sufficient. I never fell comfortable having knee replacement and did also have laminectomy T6-T7 area of my spine. I have to find another Doctor to see how to deal with 8 month hematoma that went down but still feel it in my leg.
Have a good day

Is your back pain the same kind as before surgery or is it different? It's possible that your pain is from more than one issue.
