    You have not mentioned that for which problem you are using neurontin as it can be used in 2-3 conditions. The neurontin have long list of side effects like one of the is skeletal muscles problems including arthritis, bursitis, joint pain and inflammations and osteoporosis. So your problems can be due to neurontin. Contact to the doctor which has prescribed this drug to you.

      I just answered this for another asker on the site. If the doctor prescribed this for you, I would go and talk to the doctor again. Drink plenty of water, and like I told the other asker, drink plenty of water.
      Most people don't know that lack of potassium can cause cramping. Eat a banana, or oranges, potatoes, or orange juice. Hope this helps, good luck.

        Start with your general doctor.  That is always a great place to start.

        Your family dr can decide if its something to worry about try eating more bananas that can help there are several streches you can also do  stand against the wall and lift your toes forward when you start to get a dramp do the same thing if they don't help then give your dr a call

        Orthopedic Surgeons specialize in the muscular and skeletal system so they would be the kind to see. But before you go to one of these doctors, check with your regular doctor, if you have not!

          Bananas and water don't help!  Sorry and neither do General Practitioners.  All Calm is the answer, I'm a fellow sufferer and I've tried it all.  My girlfriend found this online and i've used it since. From Canada, amazing.  Allcalm.com
