Can gabapentin cause muscle pain and cramps in arms & legs?

Thanks. I can't get up at 3 or 4 am to find pickle juice.My leg is so knotted up I cant move it. MY Kidney Specialist told me to drink a half glass of Tonic water late evening. make sure it has Quinine in it. I have been lax lately so I pay the price. I sometimes get them if I am outside bringing in shopping. It could be pouring rain and I can't move. All blood levels are fine. Doc thinks it could be the Fibromyalgia or Neuropathy in my legs.They really don't know. Thanks for replying.

Good info on the Tonic Water w/Quinine. I drink it at least twice a day. I used the diet due to weight concerns. I suspect the pickle juice would be good too, I have a friend who swears by apple cider vinegar. I will stick with my Tonic as long as it is helping.

I had terrible muscle spasms that caused muscle tears in one calf.
Simplistic solution - I started tracking my water intake and made sure I got at least 8-8 oz glasses, start early and force yourself to drink it.
Believe it or not, I have had very few cramps since I started doing this. Write it down! It’s not easy to get that much in just taking a sip or 2 now and again. I also make sure I start as soon as I get up so I’m not drinking a lot before bed.
