Have sciatica mild pain down both legs and in left groin, taking naproxen and gabapentin plus magnesium now bleeding and not period, is this tablets?

Consult your doctor: Out of the medications you have listed, Naroxen can be the cause of pain. Bleeding abnormalities are not commonly associated with Gabapentin. Serious , and potentially fatal, bleeding can occur in patients taking NSAIDs like naproxen You should consult your doctor
