Hi,

You may need to have fresh MRI spine specially lumbo-sacral area to look for the compression symptoms as well as any nerve impingement. If so medical therapy may not reverse the condition.

Minor surgeries to relieve those adhesions by a neurosurgeon may he considered. If OTC analgesics like Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen have failed to control pain, more potent analgesic like Tramadol or Gabapentin may be considered.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.
