Hi Thanks for your query. I am Dr Akshay from Fortis Hospital, New Delhi. Gabapentin is medicine for neuropathic pain. Normally it is safe but causes some side effects like nausea, vomiting , drowsiness etc. My question to you is it only thigh region or entire leg we are talking about and are there any other neurological symptoms associated ? Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance. Thanks & Regards Dr Akshay Kumar Saxena

There is no point in masking the pain we have to find the root cause and deal it than only the problem will get solved. You could have a radiculopaty or neuropathy you have to answer several questions before i come to a diagnosis gabapentin will have a masking effect on the nervous system it may make you drowsy.
