Debi... Some drugs cause swelling too... Gabapentin is notorious for this. As well as opiates.

I would suggest if the high dose gabapentin is NOT helping you that you should consider tapering off it, with doctor's supervision.
Only about 30% of people taking it ever get relief from it in the first place.
