<s>[INST] my husband just had back surgery, several fusions and a cyst removed from his spinal cord. He is home from the hospital, but the nerves are waking up and he is experiencing really bad pain and cramps in his hip and thigh. What is the best way to alleviate this pain? [/INST] Hello, I have studied your case. Medication like methylcobalamine with Pregabalin and analgesic will reduce pain; you can take them consulting your treating doctor. You may consult physiotherapist for further guidance. He may start TENS, or IT which is helpful in your case. If you have started it continue it for few more days. Hope this answers your query.
