I have had MP in my right thigh for about 4 years. I have had 6 back surgeries which I assumed started it in the first place. Gabapentin takes some of the sting out, but not the unexpected sudden shocks. I had a spinal cord stimulator put in early 06 and even it does not eliminate the shocks. It works to a point, but even with it I still have the creepy crawlies up and down the thigh and if I turn the wrong way or reach for something the stings come on fast.

I guess at this point it will be something Ill live with for the rest of my life. Even all the different meds including morophine dont touch it.

Just my thoughts,
Doc.
