Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In Spine Caused Due To Pinched Nerve

I have had a pinched nerve in my lower spine for several months and have had pain night and day for all that time. It is about to drive my crazy. What can I do to make this pain go away. The doctors want to continue giving me pain pills which don t even touch my pain and I do not like to stay on them. Can you suggest exercises or something to help take the pain away. I am having to use a walker and a cane and cannot sleep in bed because I cannot find a position to make my leg stop hurting. I sleep sitting in my recliner chair. Sleep really well but don t know if sitting all night will keep my back from healing up.
