Can Pain In Legs Be Treated By Gabapentin?

Hi, I was holding the lease on a big dog and he pulled me into a wooden fence and it caused me to have this heaviness and very bad aching in both my legs. I tried Gabapentin for a couple of years and it bloated me. I have nothing for them now. Can you help me? Carolyn Baylies Thankyou for reading this Doctor

Hi Carolyn, Your symptoms are heaviness and aching in both legs which means you have pains along both thighs and legs. its important to know if you also have numbness and any altered sensation in the legs and feet. If so then your problem is from the back a badly strained back with pains going down or even a prolapsed disc.
If Gabapentin is not helping you please stop and take short courses of a celecoxib with muscle relaxant combination.
Therapy in a heated pool will be good for you.Good luck and hope you get better soon
