Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Unfortunately, nerve related pain is a possible complication of any surgical procedure or trauma. It can be temporary or permanent. There are medications that can be prescribed to deal with the nerve pain (neuralgia), such as tegretol, gabapentin, amitriptyline, lyrica, nortriptyline. These are some of the meds used for neuralgia (nerve related pain). They may be used second line, that is, if using ordinary pain killers or more common pain killers, do not help that is naproxen, ibuprofen, or voltaren.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Michelle Gibson James
