Hi Ray, I take Gabapentin for bladder urgency, which may be different from your situation. W/o it I wouldn't make it to the bathroom in time. It is very expensive, but w/ appeal from my urologist the price drops to about 1/5 after insurance has paid.
I also have implanted a nerve stimulator which increases my bladder control. With both the Gabapentin and the E-stim device life is almost normal. I can certainly enjoy a concert, an opera, or a play
Wishing you the very best. Hope you have a good urologist to work with.

Hi, Joan

Thanks for your reply. Thus far, none of my doctors has mentioned Gabapentin. Is Gabapentin not primarily for pain? Fortunately, pain is not one of my PN symptoms, only an unsteady balance and a wobbly way of walking. Perhaps I should see a urologist. Urology is one specialty I've not investigated. Thanks for mentioning it!

What an error. I do NOT take Gabapentin for bladder urgency. I take MYRBETRIQ.
So sorry for such a big mistake.

Hello again!
I have Modtronic Pain implant for failed Laminectomy, A nerve stimulater for bladder control?
My nerves a bad @ L-4 and L-5! I'm going ask my Pain Management DR. about that, E-Stim Edevice
Gabapentin does nothing for me.
Do you have to lay flat to see a Urologist? I can"t lay flat due to my failed Laminectomy.
Spine is a mess from S-1 up to L-5.
Thank You so much!!
Must be sooo cold out there!!!!!
I wish we had more help for Small Fiber Neuropathy!
