Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hello , I was told I have bulging disc, DDD and spinal stenosis but one doctor recommended surgery and another did not. but I am having a lot of popping and clicking in my lower back with a lot of pain with movement. also pain is getting worse when bending over. not sure what to do .
The pain is due to disc bulge and associated nerve compression. As first-line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
You can also consider drugs like tramadol. If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopaedician and plan for a steroid injection to the spine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
