You are "stuck with it" only if you choose to be stuck with it. Do some research, and get another consult with a neurologist who has an open mind and accepts new procedures for addressing disabling conditions. It will require perseverance on your part, but a life of Neurontin and hydrocodone is no life at all. I've been there.
I continually praise the work of Dr. Feigenbaum as he was the one neurologist who actually took the time to consider my symptoms and offer a solution. Then he restored my life.
