Thank you all so much for your responses so far. Those are all great ideas. I have tried the Neurontin and no luck. Does nothing for the pain. Have been on the Zonegran for 2 weeks now and not much there. Doctor just keeps saying "just give it time". Last night I finally fell asleep but got only a total of 3 hours worth of sleep. I am constantly keeping my girlfriend awake or waking her up at night when she has to work the next day. I feel horrible because of this. I'm only 27. I should still be running and jumping. I can't help these feelings of being ashamed or depressed to be seen this way. I shouldn't be limping into stores or having to use wheelchairs and crutches after 30 minutes of walking.
