Give it time: If you have burning pain in the toes Gabapentin (neurontin) is a good medication to try. The dose might need to be increased. Talk with you doctor about it.

No: Need an emg/ncv test to determine if the toes are affected by the disc issue neurontin is usually rxed for neuropathic local pain.
