A member asked:
Occupational med want to put me on gabatentin for my radial nerve in my forearm & i'm1 who doesn't do good on meds! i'm scared, i have bad reaction?

See below: The real question is what you want to do for your problem. My assumption is that this is causing pain. There are no good remedies for nerve problems so if you want relief trying the Gabapentin is reasonable. The side-effect profile for Gabapentin is favorable and most people tolerate it well.
