Brief Answer:
You can start pregabalin capsules.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and would try my best to help you.
I have noted your clinical details, and your symptoms are due to a pinched nerve in the lower back. For relief from nerve pain, you can take pregabalin (lyrica) capsules. In my patients, I usually start a dose of 75 mg once daily at night. This medicine can be safely taken along with your BP and sugar medicines.
I sincerely hope my reply has helped you.
I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
Best wishes,
