Consideration

Detailed Answer:
hello and thank you for sending the question.

I'm sorry that you're still having symptoms from your injury.

Regarding gabapentin, this is a medication that can be prescribed by a primary care physician. This is a medication that is typically used to control pain related to nerve injury or nerve inflammation. If you fit for the medication your any local pcp can prescribe it.

Please contact your primary care physician to discuss and your doctor may ask that you come for a physical examination at evaluation prior to providing you with a prescription.

Thanks again for sending the question.

Sincerely,

Dr. Galamaga
