I've been in that situation myself. If you have something impinging on your spinal cord, they like to operate. The nerve damage that leaves, however, can lead to neuropathic pain - the nerves fire off pain signals irrationally because they're damaged. You need one of the drugs I mentioned to treat that, as traditional narcotic painkillers will not stop the nerves firing.
