Hello,
I would recommend consulting with a neurologist and discussing starting therapy with gabapentine or pregabaline, which can help improve your situation.
These drugs are not painkillers and are long term therapy against chronic pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
