I have pain in my shin bone and lower leg/ calf muscles. I consulted so many docters who prescribed me multi vitamins/minerals & muscle relaxant but I didn't get relief. Now I am consulting a bone & joint specialist, he prescribed me 1 tablet Duloxetine 30 mg & 1 Cap of Neurokind LC for 1 month After taking these medicins I got 95 % relief in my pains. After 1 month my docter advised to take 1 cap of Gabafix plus for 3 months instead of duloxetine & neurokind. But I am not getting the results as I got from duloxetine. I told this to my docter & he advise me to take both gabafix plus & duloxetine for 3 months. Plez tell me that is it safe to take both of these simultaneously.
