How Can Pain Due To Pinched Nerve Be Treated?

What can I do for pinched nerve pain in the back? I have tried everything. It is due to bulging discs and right now I am taking gabapentin with no relief. I also take an anti-depressant , Fetzima as well that is supposed to help but does not. Any suggestions?
