Half a year ago I developed Lichen Planus. As the disease progressed and the rashes were all over my body, my doctor inj. me with a 20mg cortisone shot.

I am currently taking Meloxicam 7.5. Can I take Soma and Gabapentin together for severe back pain? ## Gabapentin does not work like other analgesics, so it will not alleviate pain like they do.
