Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case,

You can take lyrica upto 600mg consulting your doctor.
Blood work up and EMG-NCV [nerve conduction] study will help.

For these symptoms methylcobalamine and neurotropic medication like amitryptiline can be started consulting your doctor.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
Epidural steroid shot can help if no relief with medication.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
