Hi welcome to Health care magic forum. Upto this time your treatment is fine and with out any side effects. Here after also there wont be any.
It appears that you didnt undergo physiotherapy. The orthopedic manipulations are always followed by physio therapy for satisfactory results.
Probably you are continuing the same medicine without consulting the doctor. there are no side effects and you can continue the drugs.
But i advise you to consult your doctor periodically to watch the progress and change the medicines accordingly.
Besides i advise you to follow some diet recomendations as Avoid taking potato and other tubers tomato cauliflower coconut egg chicken
and sea foods. take more of green leafy vegetables pulses fruits and juices to improve general health and blood picture necessory for any
health recovery. thanks for calling.
