Neuropathic Pain
"I was first placed on 100 mg gabapetin  three times a day to help relieve nerve pain shooting down my arm due to the assumption that there was an issue in my neck. Once the C5/6 herniation was confirmed by an MRI my neurologist increased this amount to 300 mg three times a day. I have noticed a great deal in decrease in the nerve pain but still feel about 30 percent especially when it wears off does to does. I can also still feel a great deal of the muscle spasms through the gabapentin and regular narcotics do not touch the residual pain. I was also placed on Diazapam (Valium) to help with the nerve pain. It helps to some degree but not entirely."
