How Can Sciatic Pain In The Hips, Thighs And Calves Be Treated?
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. Regards, Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
