General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Based on the history you have shared, you might be having NCS or EMG planned however MRI spine may also be needed. Meanwhile, OTC analgesics like Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen can be used for symptomatic relief.

If pain is severe, more potent analgesics like Tramadol or nerve pain suppressants like Gabapentin or Duloxetine may be needed.

For slowing progress occasionally, supplements for B12 and folic acid may be helpful. Sugar and thyroid profile should also be sought.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Regards,
Dr. Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
