Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your mother's details.

You have provided some details of MRI spine, however detailed report is not available.

I request you to upload the complete MRI report. In addition, it is also important that you mention her symptoms.

Based on the description, it appears that there is pinched nerves in the lower back (lumbar region) in your mother's case. This can lead to low back pain and leg pain.

She should start pregabalin or gabapentin capsules for nerve pain relief.

Physiotherapy should be continued on regular basis.

If she does not improve with above, then, epidural injections and surgery are other options.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
