Alternative to Gabapentin

As most of you are aware, I suffered from a relapse two weeks ago. I am still in hospital after the MS seems to have affected my walking to virtually zero (I am now in a wheelchair) and I am waiting on a space at a nearby rehabilitation unit. Since my admission, the doctors have stopped all my Gabapentin - it seems that I have had some dodgy liver results and after an ultrasound they seem to think it is the increase in the dosage from 200mg x3 a day to 400mg x3 a day. I'm not so sure as I have been on 200mg x 3 a day since the end of March? Anyway, I was wondering if there was any alternative I could mention to the doctors on Tuesday (it is Bank Holiday weekend) as I am still in pain and my pins and needles seem to have increased? If there is, or if anyone has been through this similar situation, if you could let me know, that would be great! Thanks and have a great Easter weekend :)

I didn't get on with Gabapentin. Instead I take Duloxetine. No harm in asking about that.
