Hello,

It is not good to take expired medication. You may use aceclofenac twice a day for five days.use cold compression and warm compression.

Use tablet Pregabalin once daily for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
