How Can Pinched Nerve On The Back Be Treated?
my husband has a pinched nerve in his back, His surgeon has ordered a pain block be done to determine if the pain is coming from damage to his T12 Vert... but he cannot get in to have it done until April 3 He has both Oxycodone and hydracodone but neither is giving him much help with the jabbing pain just above his hip in his back. A friend has reccommended Gabapentin saying it is a better pain releiver for nerve pain He is concerned about what reaction it will have with his other medications
