Pain in shoulder after cervical surgery

Hi there. Thought I would write and tell you what happened at the neurosurgeon…. The doctor at the hospital told me to stop all of my gabapentin for nerve pain until I saw the doctor again, so of course I did. Huge mistake . Will say something to the hospital. Once I started the gabapentin the pain lessened. Although today for some reason it is very bad again so possibly something that I did. Not quite at 3 weeks.

How are you feeling and is anything new on your end surgery wise?

Too many doctors say it’s not my shoulder but my neck so that I now fully believe them What did your doctor say when you brought up the incredible pain you have there? Did anyone give you an indication of why you should stop taking your gabapentin? I take 150 mg Lyrica every night We’re looking at Nov 4 for surgery and just needs dr approval His wife is due on 11/8 but it’s a first child so she could deliver later lol
