I am so sorry - it is very discouraging, I know - finally I was prescribed Gabapentin but only 100mg 2 x a day - I looked up normal dose for adults and upped my dose to 300mg 3 x a day - I get some relief - but not enough - I never had pain when sitting or lying down before only when walking/standing..now I get pain while sitting or lying down - I will say I have had some improvement since surgery - but it is still worse than before..I go to see my Dr tomorrow - thanks for sharing - yes they totally led me to believe I wouldn't have pain - needless to say, I have very little faith in this doctor
