A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neuropathy: Pain generated by nerve problems can be due to compressive lesion (radiculopathy or pinched nerve) or metabolic or immune nerve condition (neuropathy). This could be treated with medications like cymbalta, lyrica, (pregabalin) amitriptyline, nortriptyline, tegretol, and neurontin. Removing the offending problem should be the main goal. For example, in diabetic patients weight loss and strict sugar control.
