"i went to my pain management doctor today &amp; he prescribed gabapentin 300mg.  i have two tumors that sit on my sciatic nerve.....nights are very tough...can&#039;t sleep more than two hours at a time due to the pain.  i&#039;m hopeful that this will help in some way.  my doctor also told me i am a candidate for a pain stimulator.  this is to be inserted into my spine to send medication directly to the affected area and will help relieve me of the pain &amp; oral medications.  i&#039;m so tired of taking daily medications...this is a ray of hope for me.  15 years ago, i was told that i wasn&#039;t a candidate for this stimulator.  thanks to the researchers  they&#039;ve made huge advancements and now......it&#039;s my turn!!!  any thoughts?????"
