User Comments about Gabapentin
20 Mar 2009 some what works feet dont hurt as bad
—Posted by Anonymous
19 Mar 2009 Has helped me control the pain of my leg after my back surgery. With regular use the leg pain is manageable. Without gabapentin my leg sends constant signals of pain and fire up my leg.
