I now moved to Louisiana and in the Ville Platte area I can t find a doctor that will write the scripts that I need . I no when I run out of my current pain meds I will end up in the local ER .
Hello, I have studied your case. Due to compression of this nerve root due to multiple disc there is tingling numbness in your leg and pain associated with it. Medication like methylcobalamine with muscle relaxant and analgesic will reduce pain; you can take them consulting your treating doctor. You may consult physiotherapist for further guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level. MRI shows disc compressing on nerve root then surgical decompression is permanent solution. You can search doctor in your locality on our website. Hope this answers your query.
