Arrow Pain Level Questions.. am I making progress?

Well, I feel like if I am on medication that i ought to have less pain. The problem is, I never had this problem before, and i don't know what my expectations should be with the medications. if i find the proper "cocktail" should I expect 0-2 pain levels? What do you have with your meds? What works for you ? Right now, I am on 1800mg of neurontin/ 10mg lexapro, and take hydrocodone 10mg for pain as well. Today has not been good.

A month ago before I took the drugs, I could not find a comfortable sitting, lying and standing position without severe pain. i have eliminated my GI problems ( spasms in colon) with Bentyl, and acid reflux with Nexium.. but the burning continues in the vag area and pelvis. .. It was worse today and around a level 6-7 already in the morning, when mornings used to be best. Am I making progress? i can stand and lay on my side with less pain, but sitting is not happening!
I don't know what I am supposed to expect from the meds. I am getting down, as I guess I expected more improvement. I don't know whether I should try Lyrica in a few weeks or stay with the Neurontin either. I don't have side effects with it.

thank you .. Jess
