Medications, surgery: Both over-the-counter and prescription medications may helpful. Over-the-counter options include capsaicin, a topical cream that initially causes a burning sensation but can eventually lead to decreased pain. Prescription options include Gabapentin (neurontin), Pregabalin (lyrica), and others. Sometimes surgical decompression is necessary. Discuss your symptoms with your doctor.
