Might Gabapentin relieve joint pain due to osteoarthritis?

Hi homeboy24, I take Gabapentin, which is often prescribed for Fibromyalgia.
It is (as was mentioned) used for nerve pain, diabetic or non-diabetic, I do not have diabetes, so it is not always prescribed for diabetics.
This med helps with pain and is used, "off label" as a sleep medication, so your doctor may have prescribed it for your pain and so you can be comfortable while sleeping. Your doctor may have prescribed it for your lower back pain, as well. You may notice that you are sleeping better and perhaps a little longer.
You are on a very small dose, too.
Your doctor may up the dose slowly, to avoid side effects.
Best wishes, homeboy, hope you feel better while taking gabapentin.

Unfortunately probably not. Gabapentin (generic for Neurontin), is commonly prescribed for neuropathy. Neuropathy is pain felt along the nerve endings. Many diabetics suffer from neuropathy. Gabapentin is also an anti seizure med. 300 mg at bedtime is a small dosage but sleepiness is a common side effect of the medicine so at the very least it may help promote sleep.
