Three weeks ago I felt a twinge in my back at my right hip. I cannot bend over in a croich position but can do so with straight legs. It feels like something is out of place. After about a week I began getting jangling pain in my outer right thigh and then numbness and pain set in here. I can walk sbout normslly but sitting on a chair and driving is agony. Initial diagnosis was crushed discs with trapped nerves and cocodamol and diclofenac prescribed without much effect. GP gave gabopentan four days ago- pain is worse and tablets making me loopy. Awaiting musculoskeletal appointment and have found some relief with tens machine I had in house. Should I give up on gabapentan?
