Hello
Thanks for writing to us

According to report,you are suffering from degenerative disc disease of lumbar spine.
Degenerative changes occurs in spine due to aging and development of weakness in annulus fibrosis.

1.At L4-5 level,there is diffuse disc bulge in posterior side which is indenting the thecal sac and exiting bilateral L5 nerve roots.

2.At L5-S1 level,there is also diffuse disc bulge with mild posterocentral disc herniation which is indenting the thecal sac and it is causing mild compression over bilateral exiting S1 nerve roots.

Majority of the cases of degenerative spine disease are benefited by physiotherapy,so physiotherapy should be tried first.
Surgery should be the last option.
There are also medicines like capsule pregabalin available for pain relief.

Treatment can be planned after consultation with neurosurgeon.

Get well soon.
Take Care
