Thank you for asking Healthcare majic.

My name is Dr Ehsan Ullah &
I have gone through your query.

Well mild lumbar scoliosis is not a great problem but canal narowing with disc bulge indenting thecal sac is problem...By seeing the report we can not conclude either you should be kept on conservative management or any decompessive procedure of L5-S1 level...

we always correlate patients complaint with imaging findings..so i would suggest to visit neurosurgeon for further intervention required.

meanwhile you can take proper bed rest,no weight lifting,avoid traveling long distance and no bike riding.

Take good pain killer like tab.brexin 30mg BD,
muscle relaxant(ternaline 2mg) TDS
Gabapentin 75 mg TDS

i hope you will get well soon after visiting neurosurgeon.





Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
