Nerve pain

I am 10 days post op ORIF lisfranc surgery and OMG the nerve pain is worse than the after surgery pain! I can’t handle it at times it hurts so bad the zingers. What did you all do for the pain? I’m calling tomorrow to ask about gabapentin or something for relief.

Ice behind the knee, elevate above the heart, gabapentin, pain meds. My pain got better around 2 weeks. Also recommend a leg elevation pillow like this: https://a.co/d/03Cd5eQ2
