Hello,
I understand your concern and would explain that Gabapentin or Pregabalin can help improve chronic pain. Amitriptyline can help too. Anyway, if there are signs of spinal cord compression, surgery is the only solution.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
