"i spent almost three years dealing with unbearable tingling and burning around my shoulder blade until i just couldn&#039;t take it anymore. my gp prescribed me gabapentin in the hopes that it would put a stop to it, and it did. it took less than a week for me to feel total relief. i&#039;m not saying it&#039;s a wonder drug that will work for everyone, but in my case, it&#039;s been a lifesaver."
