Met With An Accident. What Does The Diagnosis Mean?
Could you please explain to me exactly what is going on in this diagnosis that I have received , I've had these problems since an accident i had that i flew out the window of the truck .
MRI reports do not suggest a serious problem
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have gone through the MRI report of your lumbo sacral spine in detail.
First of all, I would like to reassure you that these findings do not suggest any serious neurological disease.
These indicate mild degenerative changes and bulging of discs at multiple levels. The findings are minor and do not require surgery.
Management at this stage would consist of physiotherapy, including back extension exercises, IFT, ultrasound therapy, etc. If there is neuropathic pain, affecting back and legs, then, pregabalin or gabapentin capsules would be effective.
I hope it helps. Please get back if you have any more queries.
Best wishes,
