Hi,
I would like to advise that you must put your best bet on non pharmacologic measures for pain relief. Available options are prolotherapy, biofeedback, progressive muscular relaxation exercises (consult your doctor for these) in conjunction with meds like Gabapentin (you have tried), Pregabalin etc. You must engage in at least some physical activity as weight gain can further worsen your condition & thus pain. Good Luck
