Will take one of the Gabapentin's tonight before going to bed and start the Prednisone tomorrow.
FWIW, this morning I took 3 of some weaker (4mg) Prednisone that I had left over from a bout of bronchitis last year. Not sure if it did anything but overall the pain doesn't seem as bad tonight. I also took 4x200mg Advils around 1pm.
My TENS came today but I haven't opened the box yet.
Thanks again for all the help. I was bragging about you all to my doc today. She thought it was great.

Be very careful with the prednisone!
That stuff is scary. My MIL started taking it under doctor's orders. She suddenly felt like 20 years younger and loved it. She is a very quiet lady, and I had never had a long conversation with her after many years of marriage to her daughter. Out of the blue, she called my cell and chatted like a teenage girl about all sorts of things for over an hour!
She finally started gaining weight, especially in her face, and her doc took her off of it. She crashed like a heroin addict with a monkey on her back. It is a too long of a story to go into her issues then, but it was months before she was back to normal.
Just be careful with that stuff. It is powerful medicine.
