Suggest Treatment For Chronic Pain In Legs/feet

I m a 73 y/o male who suffers chronic pain in my legs and feet. This pain is by-lateral and is generally felt up to my knees. The pain runs a gambit from hot stings to stabbing and slicing intermittent episodes. This pain is non-stop 24/7, 365. For the past 24 months I have been prescribed Lyrica 75mg in the a.m. and in the p.m. The pain is by far worse today than it was 2-years ago. Please advise!

Hi, Welcome to healthcare magic. After going through your query in my opinion it is muscle and bone weakness . It may be related to vitamin deficiencies. In acute stage (rest and analgesics) and EVION LC ONCE DAILY IS GIVEN FOR NEARLY 21 DAYS. Sometimes vitamin D deficiency can cause this so serum vitamin D test is advised if it is low than vitamin D supplementation will be required. Calcium supplementation may be of use. YOU ARE TAKING Lyrica 75mg in the a.m. and in the p.m. It is useful drug in this condition. I think your query answered. Welcome to any follow up query
