"have been in a few wrecks and worked hard labour all my adult life.  i woke up one day and my back was so sore i couldn&#039;t tie my boots up. since then i found out i have spinal stenosis. my legs burn all day i get sharp shooting pains sometimes i&#039;ll move the wrong way and my backs so bad i can&#039;t do nothing for 6 weeks just lay n heal.  gabapentin worked very well for me stopped the sharp pain most of the time anyway..the burning was still there especially when i walked.  i tried a few opiates the only one that worked very well i can actually run and work hard again on them was dilaudid 8 mg."
