Welcome Hilie,

Personally I would never rush into any kind of surgery. Unless "emergency" surgery, it should be a last resort in my opinion. Especially when you say the doc did not listen to you.

He told me to increase Gabapentin, and that we'd do a gamma knife surgery. I feel hopeless right now, because he just didn't listen.

I'm also told him that I had a neurology appointment coming up in the next few weeks and I wanted to see what he said, and he just blew me off and pushed for the surgery. I'm really scared, and I'm hurting, I feel like no one is listening to me.
I would strongly suggest that you see the neurologist before you make any decisions. Don't be "pushed" into anything. Seek additional opinions and then make the decision for yourself without feeling pressured.

Wishing you the best. Keep us posted.
