Gabapentin for Arthritis

So Joel's doctor is talking about putting him on gabapentin to help with the arthritis he has in his hands and shoulders. Has anyone taken it for this, does it help. I've read it can some crazy side effects.

Most drugs have potential side effects. But my brother and my daughter took gabapentin and had no bad effects.

@Mamapolo2016 I've been on meds for years so I'm used to the side effects. But Joel does take any meds except for an anxiety pill when he has a panic attack. We just a little worried about it

@Cigarguy I doubt that anyone with any sense doesn’t worry about medications. The question is almost always, “Which would I rather put up with? The meds or the disease.”
