Oh My! Good Question Jackie!
I'm glad you asked this because i certainly don't want to mislead!!
The SCS is doing WONDERS for me!! It has taken approximately 75% of the level 8 pain away! yayyy!

The reason I'm doing this Neurontin trial is to try to get away from the Lortab I take for the breakthru pain and the 25% that the SCS doesn't get to cover.
I'm not taking Lyrica (like you, it was a very bad experience.....and this was 2 years ago......way before I had my SCS implant)

I'm just simply wanting to see if Neurontin (which i hear so much about in helping with the burning neuropathy) will help bridge the window of my original pain and what the SCS doesn't cover...

It's been 2 wks now on Neurontin and I actually think I'm seeing something change (for the better).....I'll give it more time to see for sure

The SCS has been doing exactly what they said it would! I'm SO VERY grateful for this! I hope it lasts!!

Thanks Jackie, you're great!
