Nephropathy In Feet, Tingling Sensation. Taking Gabapentin, Joint, Muscle Pain. Alternative Medication?
HI, I am in a relationship with someone who is taking gabapentin for neropothy in his feet , this drug seems to be helping that issue but, he is having issues with his joints and muscles is there something that we should be doing or does he need a different drug, this one is the only one so far that helps with the tingling in his feet and the sharp jabs of pain.
