Give me six more months and I might have an answer. I had a spinal fusion done almost 6 months ago (L3-4-5), my surgeon has told be based upon others he has operated on, that around the one year mark I might not need to take Gralise (Gabapeton). The nerves could be all good by then.

He also said I am unique in the fact my neuropathy was brought on by a critical illness so I might have it forever.

Since the surgery I've only had a couple of bad days or flares as they are called. I've said that much of the pain I felt was from my back so I guess only time will tell.

Work is the worst thing for me, so we are going to explore other office options like a standing or adjustable desk & chair.

Good luck I hope you find relief.
