feels like a prolapsed lumbar disc, need to get mri done
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear XXXXXXX
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
How was your day?
Hope this message finds you in good health.
I have gone through your query in detail and understand your concern.
it seems that you have fallen down on your waist in upright position. this may have jerked the lumbar spine leading to a prolapse of intervertebral disc in the waist region.
Just to inform you that there are spinal nerves just behind the normal disc,which carry sensations to our legs. When any disc prolapses ,it causes compression of that nerve causing radiating pain in hip and legs.
you should not neglect this at all and should get an xray and an MRI of lumbosacral spine done.
let me know the reports once they are ready so that i can guide you further.
at present,you should take rest,wear a lumbar belt for support, analgesics and anti inflammatory tablets,local gel with hot fomentation. if the pain is unbearable, you should see a nearby doctor .
do not bend or lift heavy weight.
I hope your question has been answered.
Feel free to consult me anytime for follow-up queries.
Take care,God bless.
Wish you a healthy life : )
If you do not have any clarifications,you can close the discussion.

Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome back
yeah ,these are typical findings in a case of prolapsed intervertebral disc.
the fall doesnt seem to have done much damage, but when you lifted the heavy basket, the disc must have prolapsed out and compressed the nerve.
you are young and should not have problems in your future life. thats why you should not neglect and get mri done.
I hope your question has been answered.
If you have any follow-up queries,feel free to consult me anytime.
If you do not have any clarifications,you can close the discussion. Wish you a good health.Have a great day : )
