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

The muscle cramps and pain that starts in my feet and goes over all the way up to my groin just started about a week ago when I started taking the gabapentin and it's been terrible and tonight I decided I'm not going to take it anymore. So I guess I will just deal with sleeping 2 hours every night and pray for the best for all of us

I was very sucidal in the first few weeks of starting gabapentin, my GP held back my prescription until the feelings has subsided. I've been taking gaba now for two yrs frozen shoulder & now I've been told I have osteoporosis in the same shoulder. I have numbness in my feet & hands along with pins & needles, a burning sensation in the soles of my feet & occasionally sharp stabbing pains in my feet & hands. On occasions I've had water retention in my feet and thighs, I'm now taking water retention tablets herbal & they've helped I'm also wearing diabetic socks as the elastic on my others were worsening the water retention. I've asked my doctor about these symptoms & he/she simply scratches their heads & says carry on with the gabapentin.

I just started gabapentin about 5 days ago and have started having cramps in feet, ankles, calves even shoulder. Does gabardine cause this?
