pain
"I jammed my hip about 6 weeks ago.  It had been sore and hurting, but starting 10 days ago the sciatic pain was running down my right leg constantly.  I was eating Aleve and Advil.  Heat did not help.  Ice did not help.  I could barely walk.  I even had to take a day off work because I could not get in a comfortable position.  My doctor gave me a steroid shot and had no effect on the pain.  I had taken Gabapentin before when I had a pinched nerve in my neck from a car accident and the pain was running down my are.  I called my doctor yesterday and asked him if he would call me some in. He did.  100mg, 3 times per day.  I can already tell a difference.  The shooting, stabbing pain running down my leg through my foot has subsided."
