What Do My Lab Test Reports Indicate?

Epidural steroid injections/Electrical nerve stimulation
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com.
I am Dr.Ajay Panwar,a neurologist,here to answer your query.
I have gone through your medical history and as you said that there is a long list of medicines you are on,I assume you must be on anti-nauralgic medicines for this pain to which you are not responding well and that's why you have been put up on oral steroids.
Further,Are you doing physiotherapy exercises regularly.Those should be learnt by a physiotherapist who is really good at the technique.Dedicated exercises may bring a significant difference in pain.
Also,if medicines and physiotherapy don't work,then you can go for -Epidural steroid injections.These injections work in significant number of patients who do not respond to oral medicines.
Still advanced option is Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation(TENS),which can be considered for treatment refractory pain.
Please visit a specialized pain centre which must be holding expertise in these specialized techniques.
Hope that I have answered your query.If you have further questions,I shall be glad to have you in follow-up.
Regards
Dr.Ajay Panwar,
MD,DM(Neurology)
