Neurontin - Hand numbness/tingles & pain?

It's used to treat pain and pain associated with nerve pain. It's a good med . I take it for neuropathy. I have nerve damage in my leg back hip and elbow. It works fine for me and people I know. Give it a try but with your doctors permission as always. Never self diagnose or self medicate. Good luck

I was put on neurontin for the same tingling, numbness and pain in my hands. This was my 2nd time taking this drug. And for the 2nd time, I gained a pound a day for 7 days. I quit, letting my doc know, and am now losing the weight (again!) What helped me was wearing "splints" made years ago for my arthritis. They keep my thumb extended a little bit so that my thumb and forefinger can't meet.

I. too, wondered, as did my doc, if I had carpal tunnel or gout or a small break. I don't care because these splints keep me out of pain and trouble. I can't tell you that you will react like I do to neurontin. You may not. The splints are made to fit only my hands, but I'll bet you can get ones that are less money and have an adjustable fit. I quickly have needed them for less and less hours per day.
