Suggest Treatment For Nerve Pain In Arm And Hand

Hi I have bad nerve pain in my left arm and hand(index finger) I had suggery in my nec two years ago and they fused c5 c6. Since then the pain in my nec is better but in my arm it's worst. I take 1800mg of Gabbapentin and 25 of Amitryptaline. I'm just wondering if nerve pain can get better with time or is there suggerie that can be done for this. This really affects my life as I am a father of three and can't do much work when the pain is bad. I' ve had this since 2004

Thanks,
