Please don't give up yet on the Gabapentin. It is not at all uncommon for this medication to take 4-6 for your body to adjust to it. If it does end up helping you with the pain control then it would be so worth it!!

Swelling can be caused by many other things. Have you tried soaking in a warm bath with about 2cups of epsom salt? Doing this several times per week can be really beneficial for swelling etc.,

Sure wish there was an easy answer for the Barometric pressure and its affect it has on us. I used to think moving to a warmer and more stable climate would help but, after reading these boards I have come to realize that even with better weather conditions the pain is still to great. Do you keep a journal?

Wishing you a the best possible day!
