I had posted my symptoms in the above link, I would like to know about this situation and would like to have your advise. Please advise.

I had been to the spine surgeon today and he suggested to take Nuroday P SR everynight one tablet, He did clinical examination my spine by doing some physical test and also the X-RAY and MRI reports and suggested there is not an issue with my spine to worry about. I am just worried about this medicine whether it could cause any issue to my health? Another question which is more worrying part for me as my Permanent residency VISA medical test supposed to happen on next month, what i am worried that whether this medicine will come into my blood if any specific test to be performed to find out what medicines I am taking? Please advise. Thanks for your help and time.

Brief Answer:
Continue treatment as advised

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concern.
The mri is suggestive of compression of exiting nerves in lumbar spine region.
If there is no weakness in lower limbs, sensory deficit or bladder bowel involvement, then medications as advised can be continued.
Physiotherapy should be performed along with postural care and precautions.
The medicines can be traced only if measured for the same.
Routinely it is not tested in any blood screening.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Do get back to me for further information.
