Suggest Treatment For Nerve Pain When On Norco And Tramadol
Question: Back spasms, sciatic nerve pain, for a week, taken norco and tramadol and can still feel pain.
Brief Answer:
lumbar spine CT recommended
Detailed Answer:
Hello. I have been through your question and understand your concern.
If you are experiencing back pain, back spasm and leg pain, as you describe as a sciatic nerve pain, I recommend a lumbo sacral CT scan.
It is very important because it can tell if there is a herniated disc the cause of your symptoms. If such eventuality it can be progressive and might need other treatment, like Non Steroid Anti Inflammatory Drugs because the spinal root, where the sciatic nerve takes origin, may be swollen and thus analgesics (Norco and Tramadol) might not be effective.
Talk to your GP about scheduling a CT asap (MRI would be better)
Hope this helps. Please feel free for further questions.
