Hello dear
You have a sciatica type pain and has been given symptomatic treatment.
Now, important thing is we need to correct the underlying cause to have long term relief.
Get an MRI Lumbosacral Spine and Xray LS spine AP and Lateral views if not already done.

Dr Vipin Gupta

Hello sir , as i infer from your query that you already had a long standing backpain for which you were taking treatment . In Current scenario without knowing and seeing the - history / xray or MRI it is not advisable to continue the medication as it has got some side effects.
Next Steps
Please visit your doctor or send MRI , Xray for online consultation.
