Good morning,
Have you ever considered talking to your doctor about giving Lyrica a try? According to some studies it’s more effective in treating nerve pain than Gabapentin. It may be less likely to cause intestinal upset than Gabapentin.

She did mention it, but she said they were about the same. My insurance requires generic meds, but I could certainly try it to see if it works better. I went to a podiatrist, and she prescribed a compound cream which consists of gabapentin, lidocaine, clonidine and 3 others that I can't remember. It helps for about 3 or 4 hours.
