It is a condition that result when nerves that carry messages to and from the brain and spinal cord from and to the rest of the body are damaged or diseased.
I would advise you to take tablet pregabalin 75 mg twice daily after food for 3 months.
It takes in average 3 to 6 months of time for the condition to become better.
