pain
"I'm 53 year old male.  First back surgery was when I was 30.  Have had 5 lower back surgeries total.  Last one was a fusion L5-S1. Big mistake. Major nerve damage and left my left leg, mostly my foot and toes numb. Have been on hydrocodone for years and years, which helped, but you build up a tolerance. My new pain doctor asked me if I had ever taken  Neurontin?  I advised no. He wrote me a script of 300mg up to 4 a day.  It has made a major difference in pain level. I only take one hydrocodone a day and that is when I first wake up. Downside is feeling groggy and dry mouth, but I can deal with that. Big difference in my life now.  Much better."
