I ve been taking these drugs for about 2years now and the side effects bother me quite a bit really. I m interested in any suggestions you might have. Rosie

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

Consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI spine.

Most probably it is due to spine related problems like a prolapsed disc or nerve compression.

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