What Causes Pain In Lower Legs While On Hydrocodone And Neurontin?

I have 4 herniated discs and 1 bulging. I have pain in upper right thigh then after an MRI it also started in left thigh. Went to pain management and put on neurontin and hydrocodine. It initially helped some , but now I also have pain in lower legs. I started physical therapy 1 month ago. Could the PT be causing this or is this another problem? Thank you.

Hi
Thank you for asking
I have gone through your query. The pain can be due to radiculopathy. That is due to nerve compression. Physiotherapy like Traction and TENS will be helpful. You can also apply lumbo sacral corset belt while exertion or job. If no improvement then decompression surgery will be required.
Thanks.
