Neurologist,  's  Response
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.

You seem to be suffering from pinched nerves in the neck and back region due to slipped discs. This would need to be evaluated by a neurologist. After physical examination and history, he may order for MRI of spine, which would confirm the diagnosis.

I agree that pain killers would only provide temporary relief of symptoms. Appropriate medications would include pregabalin or gabapentin. In addition, physiotherapy would also be helpful.

I hope it helps.
Best wishes,
