Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your message.
I think I can help you.
Considering the fact that you have had a surgery, it's not likely that the medicines will help you.
Still a prescription for pregabalin and amitryptiline may help in considerable reduction of pain.
I therefore suggest that you meet a local doctor for a prescription for the same.
The other possibility that you can try is nerve block. It's a technique in which an injection is given around the supplying nerves. This relives from pain for a few months. Then it has to be repeated. A pain specialist should be able to help you with this.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information contained in this message will be able to help you find the best solution for your problem. Best of luck. Dr Mittal.
