I totally understand what you are going through Nicole. I am on 300mg of Neurontin twice a day, with 75mg of Diclofenac twice a day, and still dont get a lot of relief.
My biggest issue lately is nausea, seems when the back barks real bad, my stomach protests also.
My doctor is waiting for the Feb. Insurance Co. meeting before filing my appeal for me. He contacted Charite, they sent him a 60 page packet to fill out for the insurance companies, and said he may want to wait until this meeting to see if they decide if they will take the "experimental - not covered" off of this procedure.....
As for now, I will wait patiently and painfully until month end....
Good Luck!!
John
