Dear patient
You have got disc bulge at l45 which is causing back pain and raficulopathy. You are advised to take epidural triocort injection for it. You are taking acuvin and gabaneuron for symptoms relief. Acuvin contains tramadol which is centrally acting opioid analgesic and help you to relieve back pain and has side effects like drowsiness. Gabaneuron contains gabapentin which helps in relief of radical are pain due to nerve compression. So continue taking this medicine for your symptom relief. If you are feeling drowsiness take acuvin at bedtime. All the best. .
