What Are the Uses of Pregabalin and How Can Ayurveda Help with Nerve Pain Relief? - #14916
I was recently prescribed pregabalin by my doctor for nerve pain in my legs and lower back. I’ve been experiencing sharp, shooting pains that come and go, along with a constant burning sensation, especially after sitting for long periods. The doctor told me that pregabalin can help with nerve-related pain, and although I’ve been taking it as prescribed, I’m not sure about its long-term effects. I’ve heard that pregabalin can have side effects like dizziness, drowsiness, and weight gain, which makes me hesitant to rely on it too much. I’m wondering if Ayurveda offers any natural alternatives to manage nerve pain, especially since the discomfort seems to be affecting my daily activities. Could Ayurveda help in relieving nerve pain without the need for medications like pregabalin? I’ve read that herbs like Ashwagandha and Brahmi are used in Ayurveda to strengthen the nervous system. Are these effective in treating nerve pain, and if so, how should they be incorporated into a daily routine? Also, are there Ayurvedic therapies like oil massages or specific exercises that can help reduce nerve pain and inflammation? Has anyone here used Ayurvedic treatments for nerve pain instead of pregabalin? What natural remedies worked for you?
