What to do to relieve the pain in the leg?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern. But there is no role of pelvic traction in your ailment. It was used earlier but not nowadays. The medications given to you are correct but I feel the dose can be increased to relieve the symptoms. So, I recommend you should consult your doctor and increase the dose of Pregabalin up to 600 mg gradually. It will be helpful if you can answer some more questions like,

1. Is there any difficulty while urination?
2. Are you able to stand on heels and toes?

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Thank you for answering, it is helpful. I will recommend you consult your doctor first and then

1. Stop taking tablet Calcium as there is no role for it.
2. Go for tablet Etova MR (Etodolac and Thiocolchicoside) 40 mg once a day for four weeks to relieve your back pain.
3. Go for a plain capsule of Pregabalin 75 mg twice daily. if no relief occurs then increase the dose to two capsules twice a day and if still, pain occurs then increase the dose to three capsules twice a day, if still no relief then four capsules twice a day (as the maximum dose one can have is 600 mg per day). Try to reach a dose where you get relief.

Now I suggest you to have three things in mind.

1. Walk regularly on daily basis, as then initially starting with the distance you are comfortable and then increase gradually as you get relief. Try to target 4 km per day.
2. There are chances to get dizziness and giddiness on increasing the dose. So, contact the doctor soon if such symptoms appear.
3. There are chances that you may not get any relief even on a full dose. For that cases, two more medications can be prescribed if no relief occurs.
4. So, start the treatment regimen after consulting the doctor and you will get nearly 80 to 85 % response.

Keep us informed about the progress.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I will suggest you to,

1. Take care of the posture and sit while taking support.
2. Do not sit for more than 40 minutes in a particular position.
3. I think for physiotherapy you can take SWD (short wave diathermy)/IFT (inferential therapy) for your back pain and TENS (trans-cutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) for your leg pain.
4. Keep doing some stretching exercises but walking is more important exercises.

Thank you.
