Suggest Treatment For Nerve Pain In Foot And Toe

all of a sudden, nerve pain was in my top part of my foot and into the big toe...stabbing pain...horrible then would change to severe numbness or sometimes a burning pain. I had no injury to bring it on. Do you think this will be temporary? I m not daibetic, but pre diabetic. Dr. put me on Gabapentin, but I would rather get to the source of the nerve pain...not live on meds...thank you.
