If : If Neurontin isn't helping, sometimes i try lyrica (pregabalin). You should probably see a spine surgeon to see if you are a candidate for an operation to decompress the nerve.

Specializes in Pain Management

Spine Pain Options: This chronic pain in the distribution as you suggested is the result of an irritated nerve or facet joints or other injury typically in the lumbar spine (low back) which are caused by herniated disks, spinal stenosis or degenerative disc disease, etc requiring further evaluation by a spine specialist and may be candidate for facet injections/radiofrequency ablation and epidural steroid injection.
