Brief Answer:
Pregabalin could help you.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mr XXXXXXX

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms. They are suggestive of nerve pain, which could be related to pinched nerve at the lower back, due to slipped disc.

At this stage, you would benefit from taking medications such as pregabalin or gabapentin capsules.

If the pain persists despite medications, you may undergo MRI scan of spine to confirm the diagnosis.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
     
Best wishes,
