I’m 5 months on 900 mg of Gabapentin & it helps a little, but my nerve pain & the pulling feeling is still there only it’s getting a little better. I’m going to try a pain Dr. & if that doesn’t work acupuncture? Pulmonologist said it could take 6 months to a year. An article I read said maybe up to 2 years. Ugh! I know how you feel. I sometimes sit in the bathroom & cry. (I don’t want my husband to hear me)

I am a long way from 5 months, and they told me it could last 6 months and I don't think they are telling me everything. I woke up this morning and when I tried to get out of bed I had severe pain, I didn't know if I would be able to get out of bed. It felt like a tight belt around the chest and then a rib jabbing into the flesh going front to back. It is better once I get up, but I was wondering if I should go to ER. I don't want to take Tylenol because at this point it would be long term use and that is not good for one.
