Pain and Neurontin

[Guest guest]

One caution about Neurontin. I took it for about 2 years and suddenly

developed osteoporosis, with no other indications or risk factors. I

went off the Neurontin and onto Fosamax (for the osteo, not the pain)

and two subsequent bone density scans have shown good improvement. If

I had it to do over again, I would have put up with the pain rather

than risk the osteo, because now if I fall because of CMT balance

problems my risk of fracture and a long term rehab is much more than if

I never had the osteo in the first place.
