Grant,
So sorry to hear the nerve pain is returning. Hope it's very short lived.
I think "never say never" is a good saying when it comes to spine stuff tho I stopped Neurontin last summer after 12 years on it. I can't imagine being an IT person and trying to function on Neurontin (my husband is an IT person) and I've not tried Lyrica but have a few friends that take it and said they felt much better mentally taking that than Neurontin.

I wonder if an injection of 60mg Toradol IM to stop muscle spasming (if that's going on) would help you? It helps me with severe muscle spasms (cervically and lumbar). Perhaps if you see your PCP or go to your OSS or Urgent Care you might try it if you have no contraindications otherwise to this drug.
