I take Neurontin for the nerve pain I get with the hug and it does help me. I still get breakthrough pain every now and then and during a flare. As for an antispasmodic, I couldn't tolerate baclofen and the neuro tried me on valium but that was too strong also. I now use Ativan and it seems to work well for me.

Keep in mind that everyone is different and reacts differently to medications. What works for one person may not work for another.

I hope your mom finds some that works for her. Let us know how she is doing.
