Neurologist,  's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I can understand your discomfort on account of pain and numbness, and lack of any firm treatment plan.

You need to consult a neurologist or neurosurgeon for treatment and evaluation.

Initial treatment would consist of neuropathic pain medications such as pregabalin or gabapentin, and physiotherapy. Only a minority would not improve with these, who would require epidural injections and surgery.

Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology)
