Any meds for chronic pelvic and rectal pain after prolapse surgery?
Chronic Pain | Last Active: 1 day ago | Replies (18)Comment receiving replies
@jenatsky Pain from surgery 3 years ago . Cant sit or lay down and have had RLS down my legs as well from the pelvis and rectum. On 300mg 3 times a day and 50mg Trazodone just to be able to sleep. Never had this problem before surgery. Not sure why I need to take Gabapentin 3 times a day when I need it for sleep. Any advice would be helpful.

@sharshy I believe you are on gabapentin for pain relief as an alternative to an opiate for pain but it appears to not be helping you. Depending on what comorbidies have you considered something like buprenorphine for 24/7 pain relief? I attached an article on gabapentin and another on covering buprenorphine. You cannot use both simultaneously.
