Hello,

The Pregabalin and Chymoral do not offer best analgesic action needed in case of severe symptoms of lumbar sciatica and osteophytes in the spinal cord. Following measures will help you:
- Postural adaptations to avoid painful gestures
- Avoid sudden bending and weight lifting
- Continue physiotherapy
- Local application of heating pad
- Use of analgesic spray or ointment containing Capsaicin, Linseed oil, Diclofenac with menthol
- Analgesic medications such as tramadol hydrochloride after meals if no history of drug sensitivity

- Control of blood sugar
- Homeostasis maintenance of calcium and vitamin D if needed with additional supplements
- Avoid smoking if involved

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
