What works for me is taking script strength Ibuprofen (600 to 800 mgs). I only take it at night as it seems to help with PN symptoms. It works well for pain, period. I was taking it post carpal tunnel surgery after about 10 days on Darvoset. Gabapentin (generic Neurontin) worked fairly well for the PN but had other, very bad sides I couldn't deal with. I can't take the Ibuprofen twice a day as it eats my stomach up. Once a day doesn't seem to be a problem so far and I've been doing this for about 2 weeks now.

I had some problems with bone pain while taking Gabapentin which started after I'd been on it for several months. I wonder if it's related? It's since gone away after stopping the Gabapentin.
