Hi.
Thanks for writing your query
After reading your post I would advice that you can take Gabapentin along with Methylcobalamine for relief from your symptoms. A painkiller along with a muscle relaxant will help in relieving any associated muscle spasm.
Hot fomentation along with physiotherapy will have added benefits.
If the symptoms persists, get yourself clinically examined and investigated by an Orthopaedician and a Neurophysician.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Regards. Thanks.
