Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case and Your doctor is right in saying this. Nerve compression is possible to due to disc herniation in spine. It is due to nerve passing in spine from brain to leg. Gabapentin is good medications for it. I have few other suggestions for you.

2.Steorid injection can be given in spine,it will also improve leg pain.
3.There is also role of flexion group of exercises of the spine.
4.In resistant cases there is need of spine surgery.
