A member asked:
Is it safe to take gabapentin for post operative nerve damage ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Works by an unknown mechanism, but if pain persists for months, revisit the surgeon. May benefit from local numbing medication injections, or rarely to reoperate and cut the offending nerve.
