I've been suffering from back pain, sciatica, and neuropathy for at leat the past 15 years and I have indeed tried gabapentin (and Lyrica), as well as quite a bit of PT over the years. I've also tried meditation on and off over the past 40 years and while it helps with my mood and overall well being, it's done little for long term pain relief. I'm not giving up and I'll continue searching for a solution. I'm considering a combination of edible CBD and THC but I've read (US DOH) that CBD and possibly THC may increase concentrations of several prescription drugs, including the statins I'm currently taking.

Hello @motorcarrier, I'm Rachel, its nice to meet you. I like your attitude about not giving up however sometimes the search for a solution can be exhausting and excerbate pain. Like you, I found that there was no miracle medication that proved worthy that didn't add side effects creating more problems.
The management of chonic pain requires many solutions for the long haul. Physical, emotional, behavioral and chemical are the 4 components Mayo Clinic's Pain Rehabilitation taught me to be all in on for the rest of my life. I graduated the program last year and it was life changing by giving me a foundation and a plan to live in chronic pain. Here is a link:

Have you ever considered a comprehensive pain management plan?

I'm glad to hear that you are seeking out other options and not giving up, @motorcarrier
I look forward to hearing from you again regarding any progress you are making. Will you post again?
