I had the same sensation, same place. Doctor put me on Gapapentin, twice a day. Got better, went off of it, then had a MUA two weeks ago. Started again, back on gabapentin. It really helped

Gabapentin a great drug. I was put on it for shingles. BUT!! What my dermatologist, internist and orthopedic doctor (because he said stay on them because it was helping my knee pain) didnt tell me you need to taper off. They cause SEVERE WITHDRAWAL symptoms. No one told me you had to taper off. I had just ran out and immediately went into migraines and shakes. Took me over 4 months to get off. Awful experience. Beware
