Brief Answer:
Do you have back pain? Why are you on Gabapentin?

Detailed Answer:
HI and thanks for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this pain that you have reported. To be of most help, I will like to know why you were put on Gabapentin and whether you have had any issues with low back pain. Besides, is this pain worse when defecating and have you ever been told of anything like sciatica?

There is certainly no emergency seeing a doctor at this time as there are no immediate red flags. Let me get more details from you and will provide more comprehensive and personalized guidance/suggestions on this.

Until next, I wish you well. Also, feel free to request for more information and clarifications if need be.
