I appreciate your follow up.
Is there any history of trauma or history of fall , If yes , then we can think of injury.
Normally in old age , due to bone changes , nerve get compressed which is causing you these symptoms.
You need rest , TIZANIDINE 2MG at Bed time along with TRAMADOL 50mg. continue with the NEURONTON.Ii fear tizanidine and tramadol are not over the counter medicines. you really need prescription for it.
But it is important to relieve the pain in your case and it is the best approach in this setting.
Meet orthopedic surgeon and you may need to get the MRI of the lumbosacral spine.
