Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to sciatica pain.

I recommend using to continue using Hydrocodone for the pain.

Bromelain is not used to treat the pain, so it is not recommended in this diagnosis.

I also recommend using anti-inflammatory cream for local application such as Voltaren gel.

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