Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have chronic back pain with spasms. No history of back injuries. Was an active hiker, gardner,etc. Unfortunately the back spasms have severely constricted my lifestyle. Someone suggested taking Gabapentin for relief. My daily meds are Zocor and Diovan with Hct. plus dietary supplements. Can you give me your opinion. Thank you.
