Suggest Pain Management For Bulging Disc

Hi , Need info regarding the pain management with respect to the Disc bulge

my mom got operated in 2008 , Till dec 2011 she was fine and in good health.

from last dec she is having pain in right leg again as earlier in 2008 .

we did the MRI it does not reveal anything serious , nerve roots are free .



I have checked again with neurosurgeons, and they advise to take pain killers and physiotherapy .

we tried all the possible medication and therapy but all in vain.



i have heard about pain management , where the options are for injection for nerve etc.etc.



can you please advise what will be the best course of action now.

you can start on pregablin added with methylcobalamine, on regular basis .
you can take help of pain centre with anaesthetic help for injection of drugs like absolute alcohol,opiods, anaesthetic agents,
neurolytic blocks with these drugs are very helpful for such longstanding neuropathic pains.
