Brief Answer:
needs more details

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your query.
I think I would be able to help you.
As a physician, I have picked your query because pain management cam definitely be helped by a physician.

I hope to have a better history from you however. I am assuming that the pain started after the fractures. I am also assuming that the pain is located in the leg only and around the fracture areas.

If there is any discrepancy in my assumptions, kindly clarify. Also, I am sure you must have had several medicines already for the pain. I would like you to let me know the same.

Please respond to this query so I may be able to help you.
Best of luck.
Dr Mittal.

Suggest 2 meds

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your response.
I have seen the picture also.
Have your been put on oxcarbamazepine before?
Because that would be a very good medicine for you.
That along with amitryptiline should greatly benefit you.
Please respond to this.

no i have not been put on either of those. the doctors where i live do not give medicines like they should. the only thing i have found that helped with the severe pain i am having is norco and also vicoprofen.

Brief Answer:
recommend the 2 meds

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I think I would recommend that you meet with your doctors and discuss the possibility of getting a prescription for these 2 medicines. It might help to meet a PAIN SPECIALIST. If not available, a Neurologist is the next best option.
I hope that the information helps you. Please feel free to contact us for more information. Best of luck. Dr Mittal.
