When I was at the neuro's last week confirming that I was having an exacerbation I did ask if this was from spasms or nerve as to me it felt more like nerve. What he said was that it is both but since I had the sensitivity to touch I was experiencing a lot of nerve pain, hence the increase in Neurontin. This actually makes sense as if the nerves are "whacked" then they in turn don't communicate with the muscles or over communicate causing spasms. (This last part was my own logic, not his as I was in too much pain to really care to hear a full on explanation. LOL)
