Steve has been on Neurontin for about 6 months. It initially helped him a
lot and he has gradually continued to improve. He did have a sort of
setback a couple of weeks ago where the pain in his side was severe and
constant, but he seems to be suddenly getting better again. He has cycles
where he regresses a little and then improves more each time. Six months
ago he could not stand at our son's soccer game for five minutes without
feeling pain in his feet and legs. Yesterday he stood through the whole
game. We are encouraged...
