Hi, new here.
 
Hi

I'm two years post surgery on my lumbar spine. Micro Discectomy and Lateral Stenosis Decompression.

Mechanically my back has been great since surgery however, still have Neuropathy.

Was on Gabapentin for three years but began feeling really ill on it. I have not been able to find a replacement that offers the same level of pain relief.

Anybody in a similar situation that could offer some advice, would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Scottish Andy,
I am 3 years post surgery and on Gabapentin as well as a myriad of narcotics. None really touched the leg pain. Recently I was given Wellbutrin to help with a persistent problem with lethargy. To my surprise the nerve pain in my legs disappeared within 2 days. It's not the intended use but somehow worked for me. It's only been a couple months but I'm loving it. Worth a try maybe?
