Hi and welcome!
I just wanted to tell you that Gabapentin (Neurontin) was helpful for me with the nerve pain. It takes some getting used to, but no amount of narcotics would keep the nerve pain in check for me until I added Gabapentin to the mix.
I have had alot of acupuncture and it can be of great help to relax those spasms. Some insurance is providing acupuncture coverage.
Hope you find some relief soon.

Has anyone had a second ADR surgery on an adjacent level?
