What Causes Nerve Pain In The Hip Region To Persist While On Gabapentin Medication?
I was prescribed Gabapentin 300 Mg by my doctor for severe nerve pain in my left hip area and down my left leg after X-rays of the hip area and lower back area. After taking the drug the first time I felt very tired and much better the following morning. In following dosages the pain continued with no relief at all. Why?
