As far as I know, gabapentin can be used for quite a number of conditions. Among them include epilepsy, post herpetic neuralgia (pain from the "aftermath" of herpes virus infection), and as an anti-convulsant. Since gabapentin is useful for pain, giving it for lower back pain seems reasonable.

yes, and of course what you get depends on the reason for the lower back pain. For example: my dh has sever nerve damage in his lower back...he's on very strong painkillers, but I have a broken bone in my lower back and am on a muscle relaxer and an anti-inflamitory.
