Brief Answer: My reply is below. Detailed Answer: Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your symptoms and treatment received so far. As of now, these are the treatment options for you: 1. Medications such as pregabalin and gabapentin capsules would help you relieve the neuropathic pain. 2. Physiotherapy techniques such as traction, IFT, ultrasound would also relieve the pain. 3. Epidural injections with steroid/local anaesthetic agent would also be helpful. I 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.
