"first i must say this page and all the reviews i have just read helped me soooo much so thank you to everyone on here. i have suffered with lower back disc pain for about 30 years but i lived with it, i spent a crazy amount of money on physical therapy, chiropractors, and doctors with zero results. i finally was referred to a surgeon in feb. of this year and told i have 3 herniated discs that would require surgery in july to repair them with metal ones. at that time i was put on 2 x 10mg of percocets every 4 to 6 hours.  after 4 months i ended up in the e.r in excruciating pain. dr. put me on gabapentin 2 times a day, i&#039;m on day 6 and i&#039;m pain free! dry mouth is only side effect and slight dizziness, and down to 1 percocet a day!"
