Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi I am 25 years old and suffering from a back pain from last 3years. It was not a constant pain but i used to get it once in 4-5 months . But from last 8-9 months my condition got very worse. Now my pain is constant 24X7. I cant walk or stand for more than 5-8 minutes. So finally i went for a MRI scan. My report says : A disc bulge at L3-L4 and disc herniation (protrusion) at L4-L5 and disc herniation (extrusion) at L5-S1 level causing significant compressive effect over the traversing and exiting nerve roots bilaterally. I consulted with few Orthopedic Doctors , they all r saying to go for a surgery. But one said to go for a physiotherapy . i consulted with one M.P.T (Neuro) he is saying , i can get rid of all this pain in just 3-4 months of regular therapy. I am completely blank what to do or not. Can any one please suggest me how i should proceed. Thanks
Hi,
at present, according to your MRI report , physiotherapy won't help you much.
What you neesd is surgical intervention i.e.microdiscectomy
It is very safe surgery & recovery is very fast
