Taking Gabapentin For Trigeminal Neuralgia, Lump On Gum. Which Doctor Should I Visit?
Hi I was diagnosed with Trigeminal neuralgia 2 years ago. It went into remission after several months of Gabapentin . So when I thought it came back I began the gaba again with my neurologist . I just found a lump on the top of the gum on the inside of my mouth on that same side. I think it is the cause of my pain. What kind of Dr should I see. A dentist? A periodontist or a MD? By the way my maiden name is Greiff. It wasn t easy by at least it wasn t grief. Sorry.

drugs causing gingival overgrowth are - calcium channel blockers, nifedipine, amlodipine , cyclosporine and phenobarbitone. so check out with your earlier physician as to whether you were prescribed any of these drugs. and do not just leave gabapentin at once mr. greiff. consult your physician before you stop it or start it.
