Upper Abs
Having upper abs done today, so far I've spent $3k on my stomach area, starting to think I should have had lipo done instead!
Day 8
All I can say is that the Gabapentin does not work instantly or even in 1 day but it sure does make a person sleep! I slept the whole night without waking up in pain!!!
Yesterday I had taken 3 tablets even though I was supposed to only be in 2.
Yesterday I was reading about the ice for prolonged periods of time that may not be good....I mean was even sleeping with ice packs! So yesterday afternoon I decided to give up the ice packs and oh my gosh the pain!!!!! I've also been using something called Neuragen which I rub on my stomach before I use the stomach belt.
I forgot my stomach belt at home today so basically I've only rubbed the Neuragen on my stomach and did not take Gabapentin I'm trying to fight this without the meds....it's still hurting but not as bad as it was, I still feel the needling pain but it's tolerable.

Day 7 - Lower abdomen
So I was told to only take 1 Gabapentin for the first day and 2 the next day etc...well yesterday I took 1 at 3:30pm and it did nothing. The only way I survived was ice packs inside my waist band...should have used the ice packs sooner but was scared.
During the evening the only way I could function was on ice packs then before bed I took another tablet even though I wasn't supposed to and a Tylenol. I also put ice packs in my waist band and went to bed praying that I fall asleep before the ice pack melts and the needling pain starts again.
I actually had a very good sleep, no waking up during the night!
When I got up I could feel the pain starting again so before I left for work I took another Gabapentin and put ice packs in my belt....so I'm sitting at work with ice packs on my stomach.....only way I could function!
One of the side effects of Gabapentin is constipation and that's exactly what I have so I'm planning on stopping this medication as soon as the nerve pain subsides which I'm hoping is tomorrow!
I had no idea I will get delayed onset pain didn't think it could happen to me so I was not prepared! I have a high pain threshold but there is just something different about nerve pain, I can't bare it!!!
