Suggest Remedy For Numbness In Leg With Hip Pain

I take 60 mg of neurotin 3 times a day with meals for numbness in my leg and pain in my hip and back. I just recently felt like I was bloated and un- comfortable for a few days. Malanta seemed to help. Will neurotin cause this discomfort? I am 81 and will avoid back surgery at all cost. I have already had 2 back surgeries.

Hello,
I have studied your case and I think that you are taking right medication for this problem. YOu are having disc herniation and for this you need to take Neurotin. It can cause sedation but it usually not causes bloating of the abdomen. It can be due to vitamins tablet if you are taking any, I would suggest you to take pentaprazole daily with Domperidone combination. It will help you in taking care of this bloating. Along with this avoid high protein diet and you will be better .
I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
