Lower back pain after starting Gabapentin less than one month

I have also been on 300 mg Gabapentin for about one month (for sleep) and suddenly have developed lower back pain. I have never had an issue with back pain. Extra Strength Tylenol has minimal effect upon the discomfort.
I am wondering if the individual who posted on April 11, 2021 continued to have lower back pain while using Gabapentin or if by discontinuing the medication, the pain resolved? Thank you!

Took Gabapentin for 2 years for restless leg syndrome, it almost crippled me to the point I could not move my body for hours. It felt like I was paralyzed. It was awful!!!
My PCP ordered me to stop taking it immediately. She was not the one who prescribed it....never again.
