Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It seems to be a spinal problem with nerve pinching again you can raise the dose of Gabapentin/try physiotherapy or physical therapy to aid your pain with consultation of your treating expert/physio or physical therapist. If it does not help, surgery would be the answer.
Thanks.
