Brief Answer:
Very rare

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. Gabapentin does not cause bladder cyst and tendonitis along with myalgias are very rarely reported in only a few cases out of 1000 using gabapentin. So you should not be worries. However keeping an eye on the symptoms and consulting the doctor if any out of the blue symptom show up, would be wise.

I hope it soothes the nerves. I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and do as directed by your doctor. I am here if you need anything else. Dont forget to close the discussion please.
