I have over the past years experienced back pain chest pain and recently having pain and weakness in my legs, could this drug be giving me these symptoms ? And going off this drug to see if my pain goes away ,what can I expect.?
Hello, Spine related problems like prolapsed disc must be ruled out. The bulging discs will compress the nerve roots and give rise to the symptoms. If symptoms persists better to consult a spine specialist and plan for an MRI scan. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
