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 had chronic neck pain on the left side and weird sensations in my left teeth for a long time. Got a cervical x-ray done but the orthopedic said it looks normal just gave me meds and exercises. Already had flap surgery for gum issues, and I don't grind my teeth. The neck pain and teeth sensations get worse in the evenings. Should I see a neurologist for this?

My mom has lumbar canal stenosis and can't walk more than 300 meters or stand for over 5-10 minutes. She's been getting painkiller injections every 6-8 months for the last 3 years but they're not helping anymore. The doctor prescribed Pregabid 50mg twice daily, Dupact 40mg once daily, and Mecobal 1500mg once daily. Will these meds actually help improve her condition or is surgery the better option at her age? Her MRI report shows the severity - just worried if meds can provide real relief or if we should consider surgery

Surgery is advised to the patient due to lumbar canal stenosis.
