Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to a damaged nerve due to the trauma. Coming to this point, I recommend performing a chest X ray study and a cervico-thoracic spine X ray study to excluede any possible rib disorder or a bulging disc in the column. If these tests result normal, I recommend discussing with your doctor on the possibility of starting gabapentine.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
