I wake up each night from sleep because of pain on the right side of waist & leg when I sleep by turning on right side.It is difficult to walk because of pain. I cannot tolerate Gabapentine because of my hyperacidity & swelling of feet. I am on pacemaker. Please advise. B Basak Kolkata, India
Dear patient your symptoms indicate diagnosis of nerve compression at the level of lumbar spine with articular pain in the right lower limb. Reason may be disc prolapse. Diagnosis can be confirmed by doing MRI of the lumbosacral spine with screening of whole spine. Please get it done from radiology center nearby you. Gabapentin is Chat Doctor.  If you are getting hyperacidity please take tab antacid 40 mg twice a day before meals along with gabapentin. You need to consult spine surgeon with report.
