pain
"I have had 3 major low back and neck surgeries within the past several years.  I have excruciating hip and low back pain and can never get to sleep. I wake up several times a night putting ice packs on my low back and hips. I went to see a pain doctor today, and he has put me on Neurontin, gradually increasing it to 300mg 3X a day.  I have to say that it hasn't done a whole lot for me.  I woke up at 3am this morning hurting.  I am feeling highly agitated, so not sure if its the medication or just me being in pain.  I am manic depressive and take Seroquel, have for years.  I am just not getting pain relief.  Does it take time with Neurotin to work?"
