Back pain & leg weakness

2026-03-21 01:19:10
Hello Doctor I was working earlier from home and due to long sitting hours I got severe back pain which was going to my left leg, so I consulted a general physician doctor locally and got the MRI done for back in July last year and MRI was normal. The doctor suggested 2 medicines which I took and back pain gradually reduced. Now again I have got back pain and leg pain , numbness and vibration like feeling in the knee back side and back . again I consulted another doctor and he suggested Gabapin Nt medicine for 2 months. Pls suggest if gabapin nt is good for this type of problem. I don't like the feeling which I get after  taking this medicine. I feel like I am getting unconscious. Pls suggest if I can continue taking this medicine for 2 months?

You can reduce the dose, sedation is one common side effect of this drug.
Next Steps
Reduce the dose to half of what you are taking currently. Then slowly you can increase
