Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement, Dr. Saurabh Gupta's Response
Hello Thanks for posting your query. You are suffering from disc extrusion which compresses the nerve roots passing in that area. I suggest you to start with conservative treatment in form of back strengthening exercises, medicines to relieve pain and spasm, injection in back (epidural injection). If you do not get relief from conservative treatment, you can go for surgical decopression (removal of excruded disc). Hope this will help you Regards. Dr Saurabh gupta. Orthopaedic Surgeon.
