I too am up a lot of night because of the pain and then the anxiety. Have you tried anything for sleep? I was given zabaflex which is for pain but also helps sleep that assists. I am on serequel which does not help me with sleep but a lady I know it has helped her so much. There are other meds like ativan,ambien,etc that may help. I am currently trying a variety to see what may help. I am not sure about the pain you are describing. We all have different ways it can feel. Have you talked to your doctor about this? Also are you on neurontin daily? I am but I take it in 3 split doses so was confused by how you took it for as needed or maybe I am so confused. Hope you are feeling better
