I have taken Gabapentin for a while and it does help....however I also got cortisone shots in my knee for arthritis and baker's cysts. It helped for about 5 years however because the arthritis got worse I had to have a knee replacement. I still struggle with soreness and the feeling of a baker's cyst and am going in for a year appointment in September unless I go sooner. My knee is strong however all the muscles around it need more strengthening and I am in PT again. To be honest 100mg isn't much at all. I'm on 600mg at bedtime and it helps with the arthritis in my neck and back as well. Good luck.....maybe ask about a cortisone injection.
