Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

We would be pleased to give you second opinion on your diagnosis of lumbar radiculitis.

I request you to write the details of your symptoms and treatment received so far.

The common symptoms of lumbar radiculitis include back pain, pain in the legs, tingling and numbness of legs, etc.

Common medications that help are pregabalin and gabapentin capsules. Physiotherapy is also helpful.

Most people with this condition get better in 3-4 weeks after treatment.

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.
     
Best wishes,
