Hi,

I do understand your pain and discomfort. As per your history is concerned the above two drugs are not for the problem you described.so follow my advise below:

1) Correct your B-12 level by taking B-12 injection 4 times weekly for up to one month then once a month.

2) Check your Blood sugar level & TSH level.

3) Check ABI index at foot.

4) Do a MRI scan to ruled out spinal cord disorders.

Follow me if any doubt arises. I hope I was able to address your query. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to write to me. Wishing you all the best.

Thanks,
Dr. Uday Nath Sahoo
