PainPals unite?! (part 2 / update)

   Well, last post was regarding some physical pain and the upcoming surgery.  2 weeks before my scheduled surgery, my family doctor asked my if any of these 12 doctors/specialists prescribed a drug called "Gabapentin".  I said no.  She said I might as well try it since surgery is the next thing on the horizon.
  This Gabapentin seems to reduce the pain and frequency by about one-third.  33% relief?  I'll take it.  I still have episodes where the pain gets a little crazy and I limp around like 'Frankenstein's monster'; but less often.  I'll manage for now.
