I herniated my back twice L5-S1 same disc, same spot. Had the herniated part removed and the second time they moved the nerve also. I have hernited L5-S1 again only in a different spot. I am putting off surgery for now and just doing pain meds. In the past have done nerve blocks, spinal taps ect.. No more of those and no surgery unless it gets unbearable I have been on hydrocodone, oxycodone, flexerill, baclofen, zanaflex. Flexeril, baclofen, and zanaflex make my lower back, hip spazams worse. So they gave me gabapentin 100 mg. for it. I took one. Lol. I don't want to take it cause it says it is for people with seizers and so on. I really don't think I need somethin like that. They gave it to me cause I have problems at night with restlessness and spazams and can't sleep. I have read that this drug has actually kept people awake at night. Also I don't want to have to be on something that you have to take every night. I want to take it when i need it, if ya know what I mean. If anyone has any questions bout the other meds I have been on I would be glad to share.. Thanks... & please respond with any info
