The gabapentin taper of decreasing 100 mg per day seems rather fast.

Have you spoken to the prescribing physician about your desire to taper your daughter off of gabapentin? I'd hope s/he would prefer to give you a safe tapering schedule than getting locked into a disagreement with you on this topic. It doesn't hurt to ask for a doctor's input on tapering off the gabapentin.
Ultimately, you can still do things the way you want to do them.

It's possible the gabapentin is offering your daughter some relief, albeit not enough relief. It's difficult to know what symptoms she may feel as she is withdrawn off of the med. Additional signs/symptoms may surface as the taper continues. I'd take this withdrawal/decrease more slowly and note any changes she reports/exhibits.

As I read your posts, the cause of your daughter's discomfort seems more neurological than orthopedic.

It's important any possible neuromuscular/movement disorder be investigated. This is done through testing done by a neurophysiologist.
I had linked in information for you in a prior post.

An integrative approach can be taken to treating neuromuscular conditions.
These are often genetic in origin, although not always.
If genetic, epigenetics may potentially be explored, as well.

I like the functional medicine approach and I hope a functional medicine physician can help to sort this out. I still encourage a full work-up in a neurophysiology lab. I hope the neurologist will order these tests for your daughter, sooner rather than later.

I hope a functional medicine doctor can help your daughter with comfort, asap.

You might also get some assistance from reading up on magnesium here. There is a lot of information on magnesium and more. The search engine on this site will lead you to a lot of information.

You and your daughter are in my thoughts and prayers.

Thowell,

I just replied to your private message. Please check that when you get a chance. Thanks

Dd12 is seeing Chiropractor today that her new IFM Physician has suggested. Not expecting much to happen on first visit but very hopeful that someone will finally be able to tell us what is causing her pain.

BTW she is back on 600 MG Gabapentin. While it may not be helping her actual pain, it is definitely helping her mentally handle things right now. Once she was down to around 200 MG of it her mood started to change dramatically. This in turn makes the pain even worse. So, for now she is on it. Not happy with this but the Doc will have to help me remove her from this when it is time. I will update after appointment. Keep prayers coming our way!!! Thanks

Well today was a huge disappointment and waste of time. Dr had appointment with Orthopedics. The Dr. Walked in and within 5 minutes and not even examining her, decided they couldn't help. She said if there is headache involved then it is neurology. But neurobiology told us the same thing!!!! Ugh

Positive note dd has her first appointment with IFM physician Wednesday. She also had her first visit with Hollistic Chiropractor last night and he spent more time examing her than any other physician so far. He will have her do a series of test on next visit to try and determine issue.
