I am glad that you are feeling better. I hope you continuously feet better.

I am on Gabapentin 1500mg a day but just Friday, this was increased to 1800mg a day. I dont take tramadol or any kind of pain killer. I use Lidocaine Patch too. I put it in the instep (just in front of the ankle). This is the best spot that works for me. It allows me to do my responsibilties.
