What are the side effects of gabapentin?
Chronic Pain | Last Active: 20 hours ago | Replies (42)Comment receiving replies
No issues with gabapentin that I’m aware of or could identify after several years. I’m 83 years old and there has sometimes been an increase in aches and pain for short durations. I’ve been guessing it is part of the aging process. I have chronic lower back pain from 3 back operations that gabapentin doesn’t help at all.

I also take gabapentin for lumbar back pain. I do think it helps with nerve pain, but it does not help with pain associated with degenerative disc disease and arthritis. I have both conditions and I’m awaiting spine fusion surgery. I too have had multiple discectomies and a lamanectomy for bulging discs and pressure on nerves. Now I have stenosis where a vertebrae has moved and is pressing on my spinal cord.
