Consult a Physiotherapist with masters in orthopaedics/ musculoskeletal sciences or sports physiotherapy who can evaluate your foot and guide you regarding the cause of pain and treatment for the same. Self medication with Gabapentin tablet/ gel is not advisable without consult from a certified physician or an Orthopaedic doctor with M.S Orthopaedics / DNB Orthopaedics degree.
