I am wondering if you have tried Lidoderm patches? Since your neuropathy seems to be caused by a surgical procedure.
Placing a Lidoderm over the small of the back, where the pudendal nerve enters the spinal cord, may interrupt the pain signals more effectively than a systemic drug.
You would need to know exactly where your pain generator is, and place the patch carefully, on the back where that nerve root goes to the spinal cord.
