It is not the medications which us causing leg pain. Because of bad hop, you are putting more strain on spine leading to lumbar spondylitis. It causes nerve compression and leg pain. I would suggest you to get x ray of spine and if it shows spondylitis, start pregabalin and methylcobal tablet. Avoid bending forward and lifting heavy weight.
