"i have herniated disc as well as severe arthritis in my shoulders and arms.  i have had many days of severe pain and restless nights, very painful mornings while being on many different narcotics that didn&#039;t help very much.  after starting neurontin the pain has almost completely gone.  i am still on roxicodone but the neurontin has made all the difference in the world.  i can raise my arms above my head, something i haven&#039;t done in months.  it does make me a little sleepy but i am sure that will go away, i have only been taking it for a week now.  my opinion it to take it at night, everyone needs a good night sleep anyway.  it is great for me."
