HiT hank you for your question. Pain from a pinched inflamed nerve can be severe at times. Dynamic/Higher are painkillers and will definitely help. Other options are1 Pregabalin and Gabapentin are nerve specific medications that help to relieve articular pain like this. 2 Oral steroids like methylprednisolone can help reduce acute pain if there are no contraindications like diabetes.3 Epidural injections can be done directed to the specific nerve. See a spine surgeon to discuss this. These modalities are helpful for alleviating pain in most of the patients. However, if it persists for long time surgical decompression of the nerve is needed. Wish you the best recovery.
