    Hi

    I know how you feel I take 900mg gabapentin 3x daily and opiotes as well as nortriptolene and oramorph at night and I'm struggling. I use microwave heat wraps also and lidocaine patches.

    I use ice and deep relief gel a lot as I take blood pressue medication that means i can't take any anti imflamatory pain killers.   a tens machine also helps.
