[TMIC] Neurontin & Pain

[Carol]

Hello Group,
Last night I experienced an intense burning pain that I could not sleep 
through.  Finally I got up around 1:00 to take a Darvocet and then around 2:00 
a Flexeril.  The pain finally subsided and I slept until 11:00 a.m.  Now around 
3:00p.m. this afternoon the pain is starting in again.  It comes and goes like 
labor pains but hurts when it's here.  I called my neuro and he said this is a 
classic symptom of pain coming from the spinal cord.  He is calling in an order 
to my phrarmacy for a low dose of Neurontin and said for me to take it as 
needed, not more than 3 per day.  I have had this pain before, but it never 
kept me from sleeping.  

Last week I had IV solumedrol on Mon, Tues & Wed.  Got there Thurs and due to 
my heart rate being 46, it was cancelled.  Friday I was not feeling well, so 
missed that dose also.  My neuro also thinks that I have MS, even though no new 
lesions are showing.  Almost three years ago, Dr. Kerr said I did not have MS.  
I know things change, but I have no new lesions.  Do I request to be seen by 
another neuro or go with the flow and start with one of the MS shots that my 
neuro is suggesting?  I think he suggested Avonex.
