For back problems, I really like what John Bergman has to say. See him on youtube. In your case, since it sounds like a spinal issue, I would sure pursue getting the problem corrected at its source, and this may require a chiropractor rather than an MD. You may need some drugs to tolerate the neuropathy pain (if that's what it is) in the meantime. I have found gabapentin and tramadol useful. Other common ones are Cymbalta & Lyrica. As when trying to heal any problem, keep your body healthy. Read lots of posts on this forum, lots of good tips for PN sufferers. Good luck.
