L2-L3 disc desiccation no herniation

L3-L4 moderate bilateral facet arthosis with some inflammatory on right including periarticular edema

L4-L5 Advanced disc degeneration with disc narrowing and endplate reactive changes.

L5-S1 Moderate biateral facet arthosis witout edema.



I have been having issues with burning/tingling feet along with sciatic pain down the right leg to the ankle. What is the meaning and treatment for the results received?

Hello,

I had gone through the case and found that there is mild lumbar spondylosis with sciatica pain. You go for vitamin D3 test also.

If pain is unbearable then take physiotherapy massage otherwise do leg and back exercise undersupervision.

Take calcium daily and Vitamin D3 once a week.

Avoid long time standing.Move the leg between work.

Hope my answer will be effective for you.

Thanks
