Do Gabapentin For Nerve Pain Have Any Side Effects?

I am currently taking gabapentin for nerve pain associated with PAD. I am experiencing aches in my legs, shoulder and back and was wondering if this is a common side effect. FYI, I previously had taken Lyrica and don t remember having these problems.
