Any Suggestion For Having Disc Problem?
Hello! Welcome on HCM! Regarding your concern, I would explain that these CT scan findings are indicative of a disc herniation, compressing the nerve roots at this level. Do you have leg pain? Do you have difficulty walking caused by the pain? I would recommend discussing with a spinal surgeon on the possibility of surgery. Meanwhile, I would recommend avoiding prolonged standing up or seating position, weight lifting, etc.. A lumbar brace and painkillers may be helpful. Best wishes, Dr. Aida
