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.

Could be something call peripheral artery disease (PAD)/atherosclerosis.  I would notify your doctor and he can do tests to see if you do have this.  Treatment varies depending on severity.  If the PAD is severe, you would see a vascular surgeon.  If not, lifestyle changes and medications may help, but again that starts with your doctor.

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!

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.

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
