Brief Answer:
Medications may need to be changed.

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back.

I have noted that your pain has increased and you are unable to bear it.

As of now, the best option would be to do an MRI of spine so that we can find out the root cause of the problem. Then, we can change the medications after seeing the MRI report.

If you are unable to do that, then, you can take TAB NAPROSYN 250 mg two times daily until you can come for review.

I hope it helps.

Best wishes,

Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology) XXXXXXX Consultant Neurologist
