I'll bet your pelvis is twisted - John Barnes says that 90% of chronic Mayofascial Pain people have a twisted pelvis.

I see his son & when I first saw him my right leg was 3/4 inches shorter than my left & I use one & sometimes 2 canes.

he fixed it & now my legs are the same length & I don't use the canes. Mr. daughter saw him because her hip hurt & same thing - he fixed her leg length in one session & her hip dosn't hurt any more.

I was taking 200 mg of gabapentin but the foot doc told me to increase it to 300 mg so I've been taking that for a week now?? I'm like you I can't describe my pain, it hurts inside, outside, bottom, top, I know it sounds crazy but I just can't explain it?? I think I'm going to talk to my doc and see if I should increase the gabapentin or if she thinks the lyrica would be better?? It's all a gamble!!! I'm sorry you are hurting and I understand about not wanting to wait, you get to that point!!! Thanks for the info. I'll send pondering reality a post.

I'm on 300mg twice a day, yes, I would say if you have been at 200mg for quite some time, it's time to either adjust or switch. I think my doc said we could go up to about 1800mg a day and people that use the drug for seizures can use 2400mg per day...my #'s may be a bit off, but it's been a few weeks since I was a the doc. Yes, def talk to your doc about it! I'm with you, it's just hard to explain the pain, it's like nothing we have ever felt before. I tell people I can only imagine that what I feel must be similar to someone having all of their bones crushed in their foot. "pondering" should get back to you where you posted, or here...she usually is on every night that I'm here, so keep checking back!

That's too bad that it had such side effects and made things worse for you! Luckily your doc was intuitive enough to find out that info and take you off the med.
