Hi! Thank you for writing to us There are chances that some neuro muscular pain is because of neuropathy, i would suggest a neurologist consultation.if i were to treat, i'd like to see a new mri and neurophysiological tests done, An Emg study as well and advice for blood sugar tests., if its neuropathy then pregabelin, methycobalamin, vitamin B1+B6+B12 injections would be preferred.Please consult your doctor and if he agrees, proceed for further evaluation as suggested Thanking you Best wishes Dr sunil srivastava
