Could The Treatment For Pseudo Bulge In Lower Back Be Postponed?
my husband received results from a ct scan pseudo bulge L 4-5 and has Bernard asked to go back to Dr for clinical correlation but he also has to go for radiotherapy for 11 weeks is there a risk something can happen to his lower back if he doesn t t see his Dr before his radiotherapy
Dear caring wife Treatment of disc bulge can definitely be post poned in view of need for radiotherapy. But you can also take two treatment simultaneously. What are your symptom of back? If it's back pain with radiculopathy take tab diclofenac plus thiocolchicoside combination twice a day plus tab vitamin B12 plus pregabalin 75mg at bedtime for 10 days. This will give symptomatic relief. Then after radiotherapy session is over take a visit to orthopaedic surgeon nearby you.
