Question: I am 37 years old and doing as a house wife. Mainly working in the kitchen only. For the past 3 months I am suffering with back pain. I have consulted the Ortho doctor and based on his advice I have taken pain killer tablet 2/day with Pan-D and did the physiotherapy of SWD and IFT one week, IPT and IFT one week with bed rest. There is a little improvement noticed. After that I have started working slowly and pain increased in low back with right side leg. Based on the doctor advice I am taking the following tablet with bed rest and physical exercise. 1. Thiospas 8mg -2/day, Evion LC-2/day, Prothiaden 75mg-1/day, Clozepam MD 0.5 - 1/day and Neurotrat LM-1/day. I have enclosed MRI scan report and blood test report for your reference. Request you advice to proceed further.

Brief Answer:
Possible PIVD-Need surgical measure for cure

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Madam.

I can understand your concerns.

I have gone through the attached reports as well.

The back pain in your case is directly related to disc prolapse in the lower spinal cord.

This is a form of PIVD-prolapsed in vertebral disc disease causing nerve compression.

The medications prescribed to you will not offer the cure.

It is highly recommended that you consult a neurosurgeon.

Surgical procedure like discectomy (removal of extruded piece compressing the nerve) or laminectomy will cause cure.

Post your further queries if any.

Brief Answer:
Surgery is the safe and best option.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Madam.

I can understand your concerns.

Surgery is the only way where you can get a permanent and a full fledged relief.

The issue here is with the disc and its fragment protrusion and not with the spinal cord per se.The protrusion/fragment is compressing your nerves which exit from the spinal cord.Hence, the idea is to remove it surgically.

The outcome is usually good and safe.Do not get tensed about it

I can suggest you few exercises, which you can practise at home.

I request you to provide me your email address so that I can send you the exercises in an attached file in PDF format.
