You might look into a lidocane patch for those specific areas where you have pain. I have cut a patch into smaller patches and have used it on my arms and hands. It is effective in a specific area and does not effect your entire body as a Neurontin tablet.

I have many drug allergies and at this point do not plan to take MS drugs. I am using Neurontin(Gabapentin) for foot pain. If I notice side effects then I will stop taking it. I live in Colorado. I am using a locally made pain salve that contains marijuana and it helps greatly with body aches. Using it on my feet too but doesn't seem as effective there with the arthritis. I think you can make a tincture of it too.
