Brief Answer:
Addition of pregabalin will help
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I can understand your concern.
You seem to have an incomplete response to Primox.
This is a relapse of PHN
This can be treated with an inclusion of a drug called pregabalin(an analgesic anticonvulsant).This drug has central effects on pain modulation and can cause a statistically significant reduction in pain severity scores.
I generally recommend oral tablets of Pregabalin for 1-2 weeks.Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if can prescribe them to you.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.

Thanks for your response. I have PHN on left flank before 1 year. but I am experiencing pain on right flank with those symptoms. Tingling sensation on legs. Only Right leg pain with flank pain.
Is it possible that PHN can develop on both sides?
Shall I continue with primox?
I am doubting sciatica nerve involvement.

Brief Answer:
The possibility of sciatica is little, but can still exist.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I understand your concern.
Yes, PNH can develop on both sides.
You can continue with Primox as of now.
The possibility of sciatica can be ruled out if you can get an MRI of the lumbar spine.This will help to rule out nerve disorder.
