Gabapentin for back pain



How does gabapentin help low back pain?

The drug lessens the pain but does not cure the problem. Your nerve may remain compressed or pinched but the pain will be less. The medication is expensive and there is no guarantee that it will work. Therefore, I would not buy a 3 month supply. However, the drug does not work immediately and may take a few weeks to become effective.
