Dear , This is Dr. S. Tomar from healthcaremagic.com's medical team and I ll be your medical advisor for this question. First of all thank you for sharing your concern with us and showing trust on us.
Both mentioned drugs are heavy pain medicines . If these pain medicines are not able to control the pain then it indicates severe arthritic changes of spine or opioid resistance which is seen in few patients. Pregabalin should be tested in your case .
I would suggest you to consult with pain specialist further and also have regular Physiotherapy session for permanent relief.
This is my initial response and discussion is open until you have any query or need further clarification.
I wish you good health .
Thank you for your question and feel free to contact further for any question .
sincerely,
Dr. Shardendu Tomar
