Does anyone have severe sciatic pain?

Dec 11th I was tboned, had 5 broken ribs, hospitalized for 2 days , released got home, and I bent over to pick up a sock, and felt and heard a pop. I was rushed to the hospital where I endured a chest tube placement. A broken rib had punctured my lung. I was admitted and treated for 11 days. They gave me Gabapentin and did not send me home with a script for taper down and wean off . Released on Dec 29, on Feb 1, I got a migraine headache that lasted 3 days( I never get migraines) now on 2/3/26, I began to have muscle weakness and shaking in my body. I resemble a Parkinson’s patient. Does anyone know if this because I was cold turkey forced to quit Gabapentin??

@awrightok223 Headaches are a sign of withdrawal from gabapentin but since you were on it for less than 2 weeks, I would not think your symptoms are from it. This is just my opinion. I think you need to see a doctor if it continues.
@awrightok223 I am so S-O-R-R-Y you are going through all this. It sounds as if you have been through the wringer. Nothing I have been through can equate to your experience, but l will be praying. I am known as a prayer warrior. I will do my best that I can do to see you get the help you need, with the top-notch doctors and all those caring for you...S

To add to that, does anyone know what can be done to fix the symptoms?
