Hi and welcome to question doctors.com
To control this type of pain, your pain specialist may use medications, such as nonsteriodal anti-inflammatory drugs, anti-convulsants or narcotics. Other pain management methods may include nerve blocks, pain patches, pain pumps, steroid injections and i recommend acupuncture and TENS and physiotherapy modalities rather than depending on chemicals .follow up strengthening exercises program for your legs and trunk.
