Pinched nerve: Consider anti-inflammatory medications such as Aleve, Mobic, Celebrex, or compound creams. Neuropathic pain medicine such as Neurontin, Topamax, and Lyrica (pregabalin) stabilize the nerve membrane and reduce the pain without addiction. Ask your doctor about these medicines to enhance the therapy for your pain.
