Recent research suggests that although gabapentin isn’t typically effective for regular back pain, it may work for back and leg pain that comes from the nerves. If you’re considering gabapentin to treat sciatica, talk to a healthcare professional. Had back surgery on the L4, L5, and L6. Had no issues till five years later going to the gym and noticed back pain in my lower back. Had an MRI done, and come to find out the Doctor who performed the surgery didn't put anything between these fir- brays so they feel on top of each other. Now I have a server back pain, plus cramps in my legs and Gabapentin belongs to the anticonvulsant class of medications that treat pain due to convulsions or nerve damage, especially in the lower back and legs. It works for sciatic pain in several ways, from binding to calcium channels on nerve endings to calming the nerve signals that are hyperactive due to pain and eventually improving pain Gabapentin can be very effective in treating various types of back pains, including: Gabapentin for Sciatica: Sciatica, marked by sciatic nerve compression, presents as lower back pain radiating down one or both legs. People with radiating chronic spine pain may be prescribed gabapentin or pregabalin to treat their nerve-related neck, back and/or leg pain. If you’re taking either of these medications, please Nerve pain medication: Gabapentin (Neurontin) and pregabalin (Lyrica) may help reduce neck and back nerve pain, especially sciatica. Begin with low doses to avoid daytime drowsiness and fall risk. Muscle relaxants. Tizanidine (Zanaflex) and baclofen (Lioresal) may reduce pain from muscle spasms. Gabapentin is used to control seizures, to treat nerve pain that can happen after having had shingles, and to treat a condition called restless legs syndrome. In addition to these FDA-approved uses, doctors sometimes prescribe gabapentin off-label. Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant medication that doctors often prescribe to prevent seizures in people with epilepsy. pain in the lower back or side; swelling of the hands, feet, or lower legs Gabapentin is commonly prescribed for sciatica. But the evidence supporting its use for sciatic nerve pain is weak. Sciatica is a very common condition that’s also known as lumbosacral radiculopathy. Up to 40% of people will have sciatica within their lifetime. Gabapentin is an antiepileptic drug originally intended for seizures. It’s most effective for treating neuropathic back pain caused by disk herniation and consequent sciatica, as well as spinal stenosis, diabetic neuropathy, and postherpetic neuralgia. We conducted a 12-week, two-arm, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to examine the efficacy of gabapentin in patients with chronic low back pain with or without leg pain. Prescribing gabapentin for chronic, non-specific low back pain is not recommended. Patients who suffer from nerve pain, numbness, and tingling in the legs from sciatica or have diabetic Gabapentin is a prescription antiepileptic medication commonly used to treat postherpetic neuralgia, a type of nerve pain, and other neuropathic pain conditions.

Background Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a global health problem, and gabapentin and pregabalin are often used in the treatment of patients without associated radiculopathy or neuropathy. Therefore, determining their efficacy and safety is of enormous value. It is working wonders for my legs, but nothing has helped the back pain. I am having a revision fusion and laminectomy this coming Thursday, and hopefully I will not need the gabaprentin after the surgery. It has helped so much with my legs, I would give it a try if I were you. It does make you dizzy and lightheaded, but better than the leg pain. Gabapentin treatment has shown a reduction in leg pain intensity, while pregabalin also has demonstrated clinically relevant results in reducing pain-associated disability. However, there are no statistically significant differences between the two medications in terms of leg pain reduction and pain-associated disability after the 8-week Has anyone ever had the experience of Gabapentin causing severe muscle cramps in arms and legs and muscular pain and feeling of weakness? I know it is supposed to basically do the opposite and help with muscular problemsbut this has happened twice to me as soon as I started the gaba and it was very severe, Neurontin (gabapentin), generally prescribed for the treatment of nerve pain, is sometimes used to relieve severe pain caused by knee osteoarthritis (OA).Osteoarthritis, also known, as wear-and-tear arthritis, can often become so severe that joint replacement surgery is needed. I have also been on 300 mg Gabapentin for about one month (for sleep) and suddenly have developed lower back pain. I have never had an issue with back pain. Extra Strength Tylenol has minimal effect upon the discomfort. I am wondering if the individual who posted on April 11, 2021 continued to have lower back pain while using Gabapentin or if
