I'm only allowed a one time change of doc in any field of care so I'll be sure to ask around and make sure I get the right pain management doctor.
I find it very hard to explain the pain to people. It's incredibly frustrating.

How much, in the sense of mg of Gabapentin are you taking? Oh right, you just said! Sorry. Didn't read your last message.
But, as others have said, that is what matters. And Gabapentin is NOT a narcotic medication. It is an anti-seizure medication that works extra-ordinarily well on nerve pain.
I'd research your medication a bit before just starting to take it!!!
