I recently started on gabapentin because of constant abdominal/flank pain, discomfort or nuisance, Im not even sure what to call it cuz it feels so vague and deep, I cant even describe even though Im analyzing my pain every min of the day. because it feels really deep and slight sensation of burning which makes me think maybe its nerves. So I got prescription for gabapentin from walk in, if it would help with pain then I can confirm its nerve pain since my doctors cant tell me and also saying there is no test for it.
So far I dont find it working for me. I even took 3 capsules twice but still the discomfort and mild burning is still there, the only thing I find after 3 capsules is slightly sleepy and dizzy and not wanting to care about pain. But im not sure my pain is nerve related yet, it could be kidney since I had surgery done on it, only thing helps is percocept.
Anyone knows if opiates help nerve pain?
