I will be 73 in October. My doctor ‘suggested’ an MRI. I told her that the gabapentin has taken away 90% of the pain and each day it gets 1% better! (I’m probably at 92% now)

I told her at my age I’m definitely not having back surgery!

She said in that case if the gabapentin is working and you’re not choosing surgery, then there’s no point for the MRI.

As long as I have decent ‘quality of life’, for the time I have left, I’m good to go!

I don’t have a death wish but I’m like Paul.

To live is Christ, to die is gain!

@leehop71 ~ I was 71 in February. Praise God your pain is responding to the Gabapentin and you aren't having any major side effects. Paul is a great example for us as believers, and I feel the same as you. God bless you!
