Suggest treatment for severe persistent pain in legs
Patient: My husband has severe pain in his feet and going up his legs. His neurologist at first thought he had neuropathy. He does not have diabetes, which he knows that a lot of people who have neuropathy, and it seems his is different from others pain. He takes neurontin, and another pain killers but really does not help that much. Can you tell me what we can do for him ? Does fibromyalgia share same problems as neuropathy? Thank you. Doctor: Hello,  As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.   If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.   Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.   Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain,  General & Family Physician
