Brief Answer:
Here follows:
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for being in follow-up.
Anti-neuralgic medicines(like gabapin) needs to be tapered after symptoms are controlled well and gradually stopped after a period of 2-4 weeks.Calcium and Vitamin D (Rejunex-CD3) can be continued later as well.
Typically, 1-2 months of medicines coupled with physiotherapy brings improvement in symptoms.
I have no experience in alternative medicine.You can better talk to the respective specialists about the expert opinion on Homeopathy/Acupuncture.
