Thank you for contacting us. Symptoms as mentioned indicate a spine disc or joint problem. Medication started is a nerve medicine which is the right first step in your case. However it has a few of known side effects which you have experienced and which are likely to go away after 6-7 days of start of drug treatment. So you try and continue with the medicine or else can start with 50 mg dose and gradually build upon. If still symptoms persist, interventional pain management options can help wherein injections blocking the nerves carrying pain sensations from painful area are given. Â

Hi, these symptoms are suggestive of nerve root compression most commonly caused by a intervertebral disc prolapse. Since this is acute presentation working diagnosis will be acute ivdp. So treatment includes conservative which includes analgesics and rest for 1 or 2 weeks. If no improvement a mri need to be taken and operative treatment can be thought of for a faster pain relief. Mandatory surgical treatment is indicated in below red flag signs 1. Complaints of urinary or defecation problems 2. Development of motor / muscle weakness thank you. Â
