Hello, my mom who is 56 years of age is having following problems: - severe regular pain in both the knees but excess of it in left knee. - this pain goes from fingers/heels of both the foot to the hip of left side. I am taking no medicine. Previously in the month of september took pregabalin 1 tablet/day for 20 days and results were promising for that period of time. After the discontinuation, again feeling the same problem. Thanks.

It is probably a prolapsed intervertebral disc with sciatica causing radiating pain to knee and foot. She needs to avoid lifting weights/squatting/bending needs plenty of fluids/back strengthening exercises. If there is limb weakness/difficulty in passage of urine ,then mri is advisable. Pregabalin can be taken for a month along with analgesics. Diabetic profile also needs to be monitored.
