Surgery -not miracle: One would need to know what were the indications for surgery. And your age. Did you started also with physical therapy and tried a brief course of steroids. There is room for more neurontin, (gabapentin) but you are already taking a spoonful of meds! i hope you will start to get some improvement -you need to followup closely with your surgeon and /or a pain management specialist or neurologist.

Talk to your surgeon: At 7 weeks post op, your surgeon has the best perspective.
