Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
You are suffering from multiple-level disc disease.
This commonly causes back pain and pain in the legs.
As your doctor has ruled out operation, the treatment would be along the following lines:
1. Physiotherapy- regular back extension exercises, Traction, IFT, Ultrasound, etc.
2. Medications such as gabapentin and pregabalin capsules.
3. If there is severe pain, you can go for epidural injections.
Please discuss these options with your doctor.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology)
Senior Consultant Neurologist
