Anyone have any experience with using neurotin for pain management? Thanks.
I suffered with coccyx pain after the birth of my son - he was a 9 lb, 10 oz baby and I'm a relatively small-framed woman. It was determined that the pain I was suffering was nerve-related, and I was prescribed Neurontin. I found that it helped quite a bit. It didn't take the pain away completely, but when I combined it with ibprofen or stronger pain medication as needed, I was 100% pain-free. Now, after two nerve blocks I am free of pain and I no longer need medication. :)

we frequently use gabapentin in hospice, with good results, for neuropathic pain. we rarely use pregabalin...it is too expensive.
