Gabapentin w/ swelling of hands & feet and Back pain
Posted , 10 users are following.
Hi New to the group and was wondering if anyone else had this problem? I have been on Gabapentin for 3years. The last 2 months I have had swelling in hand & feet, joint pain, as well as low back pain. I know its from the medicine because I decided to stop taking it for a week and it stopped hurting. But as soon as it was back in my system the pain & swelling returned. Any views on this would be appreciated.

But i could not find a blog that had exactly my experiences with
Gaberpentin
My right hand is numb mostly
Right ankle and left a bit swollen
I went lower and high as 1200
Mg a day
Now 800-100
Was 300 once a day and night but i would miss night dose
From the start it made some pain better and some worse
Higher dose seems to be worse as per my journaling
Uggg
Chronic pain
Internal tib fib rod (right)
Left hip replace from poor reduction of pelvic multi fracture
Bad surgeon -left heavy gait /quad sutured poorly etc
Three revision after its been ok but etopic bone formation
Also back and RADS
From former Job
The push of this and other bs drugs versus full extract CBDs
And low dose opioid based treatment works best but DEA
Etc went nuts
Kids dying prompted a worse fake fentynol for Heroin epidemic!
Fact not just my opinion

When I was on it I had bad ankle swelling especially in my rt ankle. It hurt so bad I had to wear a brace. I'm off Gabapentin now but has some lingering side effects. Do wish they would go away. Have horrible pain in legs and feet. Am wondering how long this will last.
