Suggest Treatment For Disc Bulges On L1-L2 And L5-S1
I had recent MRI shows L1-L2 and L5-S1 disc bulges. I get muscle spasms an chonic siactica pain on left side of lower back. I have to take 20 mg oxycontin and 30 mg flexiril with ice/heat zostrix cream, and still have back pain. I lay down a lot during day to relieve pain also.

HI
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.For sciatica I usually give drug pregablin beside the other medicine which you are taking.
If you develop muscle weakness (foot drop) or loss of urine control then it's neurological emergency.
Hope this helps.
Take care
