    I'm afraid I don't know the answer. You need to ask health professionals. However I do know there are significant concerns about this drug. On 26th January there was an article regarding new research in America and issues and. Concerns and warnings. Not enough is known about the side effects. Sorry

    I take Gaberpentin for nerve pain which i have in my knee that as been replaced twice. When i first started taking the drug it really helped, but now i have the pain again. There is no cure for neuropathic pain. Gaberpentin itself cannot cause nerve pain. Maybe you need to try something else. Go back to your GP and explain how things are.
