Not sure who you were addresing here, but IME, doctors are prescribing gabapentin, pregabalin, and duloxetine for just about every kind of pain (neuropathic or otherwise) that comes down the pipe these days, whether medically appropriate or not, largely because of the political pendulum reversal on opioids. YMMV.
