Can Gabapentin And Flexeril Be Taken Together For Discomfort In The Limbs?

I have recently started taking gabapentin for 3 years post op lumbar fusion, discectomy, lami, decompression. I am concerned that I seem to have progressed to having to take these med every night due to my limbs seem uncomfortable and I flip an flop in bed if I do not take these med. Is this normal? Can I possibleyddavis not need to take this med in the future? I also take flexeril every night. Are these meds going to be required the rest of my life due to my injury and past surgery?
