Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, if pain is not controlled with OTC analgesics like acetaminophen or Ibuprofen and even tramadol has failed to control it, you may need to have injectable analgesics like ketorolac as well as gabapentin orally.
If pain persists, a repeat scan to see for any bony spur causing the trouble or local examination by orthopedic surgeon for any associated nerve entrapment or injury causing such severe symptoms should be ruled out. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Regards
