I think I’ve stumbled upon something.  Although I feel considerably more pain when I’m off NSAID’s, I also have far less tingles/numbness.  I believe the NSAID’s trick your body into thinking you can move far more than you should,  thereby aggravating any nerve root compression.  The pain sucks, but it stops me from damaging the nerves.  I’m going to stop the NSAID’s for a while and deal with the pain.
