[|AI|]  Hi, Thank you for posting your query. It is unfortunate that you are getting pain and numbness despite having undergone surgery. As of now, you can get relief from medications such as pregabalin or gabapentin capsules. Prednisone is a steroid, which may be safe if used for short term. But in long term, it may have side effects, including worsening of candida infection. I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor.
