Yes gabapentin can help. Also massage the areas, the more the better. Yes, it will hurt while doing it but it will help. Rub different textures over and over the areas to desensitize it. Good luck.
I too am 3 months out and mine bothers me mostly at night. I finally asked for pain meds to help sleep at night. Then all of a sudden it seems to be getting better. Pray that yours goes that way also.

Thanks for your input. I too have trouble sleeping at night. I’m now only taking one 5mg at bedtime. What did the doctor give you for sleep?
