What Causes Swelling In Scrotum And Jaw While On Gabapentin?
Just noticed that my scrotum is swollen but painless. I am 56, 6 feet, 250. I have been mostly bedridden for about a year due to 3 spinal fusions. I was placed back on gabapentin because I was suffering from severe withdrawal. In the last 2 weeks since being back on it I have had a swollen upper lip, then a swollen lip, then a swollen jaw and today I noticed the swollen scrotum. Can this medication also cause this issue. I am not sexually active. I have not tested positive for any STD s. I am very concerned.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the only possibility is hydrocele if this is painless condition and just a swelling of scrotum, second it may not be the pure form of swelling, other condition of swelling of lip could be allergic condition and it may not be due to medicines, again it could be just hallucination over all it may needs clinical examination for confirmation hope this information helps.
