Yes, it should take the pain away. I've been on it about 8 years for neuropathy in both my legs. I was walking with a cane for 4 years, but when I went on Gabapentin, I didn't need the cane anymore.

Thank you I appreciate your time and for answering me
I've been on neurontin (gabapentin) for 3 years now for TN--I don't know what I'd do without it. But if it doesn't help, talk to your doctor.
