General & Family Physician,  's  Response
hello,

based on what you said, the following medicines have shown pain relief in my clinical setting:
tab. diclofenac K 50mg twice a day
tab. Tramal+paracetamol (tonoflex P) twice daily
tab. pregabalin 75mg twice a day and can be increased to 150 mg twice a day after 3 days of 1st medicine.
tab. omeprazole 20mg once daily for preventing stomach problems.

This treatment should be for 10 days. If you feel better, you can continue these medicines for further 15 days.

wish you a safe and swift recovery.
