Thanks for writing me the doctors don't say much. They haven't even really explained anything to me. I did get a steroid injection which didn't work. The doctor then gave me gabapentin and it worked some but the side effects were too much for me. So now i am trying Lyrica so far its helping just minimum but i'm not up to the full dose yet. I get very frustrated with the pain, i have stopped doing so many things that i love to do because of the pain.
