Brief Answer:
L5S1 DISC PROLAPSE FOR SURGERY
Detailed Answer:
Dear Mr XXXXX
Hello
I have gone through your medical history in detail
L5S1 prolapsed disc with severe pain , not relieved with regular analgesics /physiotherapy mostly needs surgical decompression .
You can do following things to get symptomatic relief till then
1. Bed rest
2 Avoid twisting movements at spine level .
3 Try some analgesic like ACECLOFENAC + MUSCLE RELAXANT combination .
4. Add some CHLORDIAZEPOXIDE + AMITRYPTILLIN combination , for symptomatic relief .
5 . I normally prescribe PREGABALIN 75 MG also for few patients
6 Apply some analgesic gels for local application
Hope this relieves your pain symptoms
Wishing you a speedy recovery
