Brief Answer:
Spondylosis and slip disc

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

Thanks for the query

According to the report, the patient has slip disc of the cervical spine in the neck which can be compressing some nerves going to the arm.

She also has possible slippage of the backbone at a single level which can cause pain on lifting weights or bending back. The lower part of the backbone also has possible slip discs.

This can be classified as possible Spondylosis and slip disc.

It is best that she get an MRI scan to look for nerve compression and if surgery is required or not.

Please upload the Xray film photo for a better understanding.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

Regards,

Dr. Aashish Raghu

Never compression

Detailed Answer:
Yes, please click a photo and upload the photo of the Xray.

The pain in the legs is due to slip disc compressing the nerves of the legs which come from the back region.

She can take Tablet Pregabalin 75mg at night for a month to relieve this nerve pain. This is a medicine that requires prescription from your Doctor.
