I've been dealing with hypertension and have been taking Olmzest 20 every day. Recently, I've been experiencing this persistent neck and shoulder pain, so I went to see a neurologist who prescribed Trigabantin 300 and Etoshine 120. I've been a computer operator for the past 15 years, which probably adds to the stress. I've already started Trigabantin 300 and it's been two days now. But I'm a little hesitant about starting Etoshine because I read about its potential side effects. Could you give me some advice on whether it's safe to take both medications and if the benefits outweigh the risks? I'm just looking for a second opinion to ease my mind.

I've been diagnosed with a slipped disc at L4 L5 S1 and have a lot of pain, especially shooting down my left leg. My doctor prescribed neorelax mr 8, gabanuron od, and gemcal along with exercises twice a day and ice packs. Will this treatment actually help me recover or should I consider surgery for this issue

Slip disc treatment with medications and physiotherapy may help; surgery is for cases with severe nerve compression or no improvement after 6‚Äì8 weeks.
