I was on Neurontin years ago and it didn't seem to do much, but I had more hope for Lyrica for some reason. Benzos work fine for me (muscle tension/pain), but my doctors won't give me them any more. I'm wearing a heating patch on my lower back right now, and it seems to be helping as much as painkillers. I've never tried one before but my dad had bought one from the pharmacy along with my regular painkillers for some reason. Have you tried TENS or anything like that? I have a machine somewhere, but I've never used it. I'm also taking tianeptine and I find that helps quite a bit with the sensitivity to slight touch - I think it's called tactile allodynia. Sometimes if I'm feeling well the increased sensitivity can be wonderful - I get tingling sensations all over my body just from massaging my skin. It seems as though it only becomes painful when my energy drops below a certain level.
