Different medications work well for some people and seem to not help others all that much. For myself, gabapentin did not help by itself. Taking a combination of gabapentin and amatryptaline helped some but not enough to continue taking them.

I have been doing mirror therapy as well several times throughout the day. I always do several short 5-10 minute sessions spread out through the day. I don't know if it is helping or not, but I know it is not hurting anything. That along with simple breathing exercises, and relaxation techniques do help get my mind off of the pain when it gets fairly bad.

You seem to be on the right track with doing your research. Try to keep moving as much as possible without causing an increase in pain, and keep learning as much as you can.
