I m under dr care but I do have move pins and needles through out my body since I started garepentin. I walk 30 -40 minutes a day just to keep moving. However at time I m weak between my legs and groin. Any suggestions

Hi,
I am sorry for your suffering, but you must know that as long as you have your disc shifted, you will continue to have this pain unfortunately. Gabapentin will help a little but never reach complete recovery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Salah Saad Shoman, Internal Medicine Specialist
