Is combiflam a safe drug for pain relief

Question

Asked for Female, 32 Years

It's been a week that I have been suffering from moderate to severe pain starting right from lower back through the thigh (left) and radiating into calf. My orthopaedic says that it could be because of muscle spasm and nerve compression. He suggested me Etodolac. No relief. Combiflam is effective to an extent. Is combiflam a safe drug? Is this sciatic pain?

Combiflam is not safe if used for long term. Yes, this maybe the pain due to sciatic nerve compression. You need some lifestyle modifications along with safe medicines to prevent worsening the condition. You can consult me online over chat with more medical history.
