Hi i've l4-l5 & l5-s1 disc herniation & I have done microdiscectomy in 2011 at l5-s1 level but the problem reoccurred. Now I am doing acupuncture treatment for the last 3 months because I was having pain in my hip & leg & I am not able to stand or walk for more than 5 minutes. The doctor has prescribed me mecobal injection of 1500 mcg on alternate days & protedac & d3 injections weekly. I want to confirm whether this may improve my health or else it will worsen my situation that is, is it safe to take these injections? Further, I am taking tablets of pregalin nt & mecobal 1500 mcg on daily basis at night & some pain relieving pills twice a day. Please suggest some better treatment ways to overcome my pain because I am doing a private job & from the last 3 months I'm bedridden taking acupuncture treatment on daily basis. I'm officially, personally, and socially very much disturbed. Please help.

Suggest you to take ift+us fir 3 weeks as your condition is severe. If you get pemf therapy near you it will take only 10 sessions and you can be treated without medicines. Medicines are perfect to be taken but if you found no improvement in 5 days then visit or hire physiotherapist for electrotherapy treatment.
