Hittman's Hideout

Ouch! That sounds really painful. Hope you’re not doing too bad.

I’ve been having more lower back pain this week especially in the morning. I just keep doing my PT exercises and hoping it gets better. I’m trying to ween myself off the gabapentin. The doctor gave me 90 days worth but I know it’s not a long term medicine so wanted to see how I am without it.

yeah had my PT tape my rib cage. I've had it cracked before. Just takes time.

Hopefully it heals quickly. I’m doing ok tapering down on the gabapentin. Not sure if it’s coincidence but had more leg pain yesterday.

Well things are going fast, went to pain management Dr today and now scheduled for a injection in my back tomorrow morning.

I started weening myself off the gabapentin. It’s a short term solution so I wanted to see how I am without it. So far I’ve noticed a little more pain but it’s tolerable. I had my third PT session yesterday. I’m getting some really good exercises that I think will be good long term.

yep 4th day of gabapentin.

I’m still at one a day instead of two. My wife said that it made me really irritable when I was taking it normally.
