Hello,
thanks for using health care magic.
The pain you talk of is likely a radiated pain from the lumber
region of your brother since you talked of disc problem and
it is likely a
sciatica. Disc compression or dis-alignment can
reduce the spinal canal or
nerve tracts whose paths are on
the disc.
The gold standard of treatment of disc pathologies with compli-
cations on the
spinal cord is surgery if the symptoms become
unbearable.
Surgery is aim at correcting the problem and thus treating the
underlying problem while medical treatment done with use of
pain killers such as non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs ( diclo-
fenac or voltarene, ibuprofene,
aspirin etc),
opiate derivatives etc
is aim at reducing the symptom but does not offer cure.
Voltarene is an anti inflammatory used to reduce the pains while
pansec is an anti ulcer disease which is given to your brother in
order to prevent ulcers due to voltarene.
Hope this helps you. If you have further query, i will be ready to help.
Best regards
Dr Achuo
