Re: Gabapentin ER
both gabapentin and the newer pregabalin have helped me. my take on the pain thing is to separate the nerve and the muscular. medicines are nice but i also know that i need to keep everything flowing so exercise/physical stimulation of some sort, is also very important. in my case, everything works ...
