Is Gabapentin effective for neck pain?
Patient: I have severe nerve pain in my neck on the right side going down to my shoulder. I am working with a physical therapist. I also have hydrocordone from a previous surgery. Am I able to take gabapentin along with 5 mg of hydrocodone? Or will the Gabapentin work on the neck nerve pain alone? Doctor: Dear patient Gabapentin is prescribed for radicular pain due to nerve compression. It relieves neurological pain with tingling and numbness. For neck pain you should take tab ultracet twice a day with gabapentin. Hydrocodone is steroidal drug helps to relieve chemical neuritis and can be taken for such pains.
