I would suggest that you get your hips checked out. I have had idiopathic PN for several years. Last year, April 2024, my R leg started giving out under me. One day it did so repeatedly. The next morning I went to the orthopedic Urgent Care clinic. X-rays showed the hip joint was arthritic. An MRI showed that the bursa was not contributing to the pain. As soon as I could get on the schedule, I had a hip replacement. The new hip does not go out from under me, and the pain I was attributing to my lower back or sacroilliac joint turned out to be removed by a hip replacement - the pain was coming from the hip. Good luck as you search for the cause of your problem.

Note taken but my first stop two months ago was … my hip
My Orthopod took images and his response was at 72, I have the hips, with joints, of a 50 yr old and are in great condition
My interest in posting was to attempt hearing others feedback dealing with gabapentin and issues to weakening or failing legs
I’m not looking to have others or myself prescribing meds or surgeries
Please stay focused on providing feedback with after using gabapentin any leg issues of having them collapsing without warning
Especially when degressing stairs
Thanks to all in advance
