Gabapentin did absolutely nothing for me pain-wise. Only thing that worked for me was radiofrequency nerve ablation. It only took 40 years of suffering before a new pain doc presented the option. Best thing I ever did. Disclosure: I have bad osteoarthritis pretty much in every joint. Likely the result of nasty bouts of Lyme Disease.
I had that done in my cervical spine to hold me over till I had my fusion. They did 7 levels. The single fusion is what helped.

Where was your pain? The spine doc has mentioned it as a possible treatment for my osteoarthritis-related spinal stenosis. Thanks.
Same here — no results from a year on high-dose Gabapentin. My English-illiterate VA doctor insisted it was working and I was lying to get drugs. Spondylosis of L4&5 and S1&2 from a murdercycle wreck. I changed docs and meds, but it took a letter to the head of the Austin VA.
