Has anyone dealt with Post Lumbar Fusion chronic pain?

I have just started taking Lyrica about 4 days ago. Previously I was taking Gabapentin. The dose is lighter than the Gabapentin if you use the 6:1 ratio. Perhaps the doc wanted to make sure I don't have an adverse reaction to it.
Thank you for the advice!

@1christopher You are welcome. I hope it helps with your pain. The ER doctor gave me a much lower dose, 25mg, and only scheduled me to take it twice a day. My surgeon's PA said it needed to be more aggressive, and she prescribed 75mg, 3 times a day (morning, noon, and then around dinner time). It worked very quickly for me, and now I am not on any medication as of the 3rd week of January.
