Suggest Treatment For Nerve Pain In Back

I have nerve pain in my back and was told Lyrica could help but also causes major weight gain. I'm in need of something that will help but don't care for the weight gain. I've been on neurontin but it's not helping any longer. I need back surgery but can't at this time.

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Simple lyrics is no solution, get a MRI of back done before thinking of surgery, as that will help in taking a final call on your management.
