General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Yes it looks like you have some nerve traped .This is not uncommon and luckily mostly is temporary though not always.
The best results are with physiotherapy. Pain can be relieved with heat application and you can use pain killers like paracetamol or if severe opiods .
If you have reaction to Gabapentin , you can use others like Amytryptyline or Pregabalin for it. But always start in low dose nd increase the dose gradually to avoid the side effects.
Most of the times it works though may take some time .
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
