I'm going to chime in here on burning pain and gabapentin. I'm willing to try almost anything to lessen the burning (which was so severe at times that I was taking Vicodin).

I was taking as much as 3,300 mg./day (1,100 three times/day). Then I saw an article posted in a pain journal about good results with turmeric curcumin, and even its ability to regenerate nerves. I spoke with my neurologist about it, and he gave me the go-ahead. I started taking 500 mg. of turmeric curcumin 3x/day and have been able to reduce my gabapentin to 600 mg. three times per day. The turmeric curcumin really does reduce the burning pain.

Now my neurologist has recommended electronic signal treatment (also called combined electrochemical therapy, or CET). It's not covered by Medicare or most insurance, but I'm going to go ahead and give it a try. I've seen some studies saying that there's nerve regrowth in about 80% of patients.
