Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly
thanks for using healthcaremagic site ,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..
In my opinion yes
gabapentin will help as a long acting
analgesic but it also have series side effects that you have take in your consideration .
It is an anti-epileptic medication, also called an anticonvulsant. It affects chemicals and nerves in the body that are involved in the cause of seizures and some types of pain ,Gabapentin is used in adults to treat
nerve pain .
Try B12 supplementation ,
physiotherapy , hot massages with topical gels , muscle relaxants and avoid heavy lifting and vigorous movements and you will be fine .
