Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
Noted the history and understood the concerns: Male/84 - nerve pain in foot caused by Burns - on Gabapentin - takes 3 pills before bed but does not help always - hurts bad - wants anything that will help ...

Please give some additional information:

Where was the burns (was it on the foot itself or somewhere around) ?
When did this happen ?
What is the type of pain: burning, throbbing or so ?
Is the nerve entrapped into the scar ?
Where exactly is the pain ?
Any history of back related problem ?
Which medications do you take other than Gabapentin ?
Any other medical problem like diabetes ?

You may please try to post some clear and focused photographs, these help sometimes for on-the-spot diagnosis. You can simply upload/attach them at the reports section of this web-page.

Awaiting..
