Dennis, I don't think any of us are able to take enough meds to completely take the pain away, but many of us feel it is at least controlled. I use neurontin and baclofen. It takes a while to figure out how many of each to take and at what time of the day/nite to take them. I am fortunate that when the pain gets bad, I can quit whatever I am doing and just sit down for a while. Believe it or not, sometimes that really helps, along with a pain pill - I take vicotin. But, I keep the vicotin to a minimum. If your doctor isn't much help, your pharmacist may be the one to go to. Then, you can go back to your doc with whatever the pharmacist may suggest. They know their newest drugs better than the docs anyway. I wish you luck and keep us posted on your progress/frustrations. Janice
