General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Dear friend,thank you for your consultation.I have gone through your case history very carefully.as you have no large focal protrusion and a small radio-ulnar tear centrally,I think you should start your physiotherapy under the supervision of a clinical physiotherapist.you should not go for a critical neuro-surgery as it might further de-stabilise your vertebral feature.so start a regular home regimen of flexion exercise and I sincerely believe it will improve your quality of life.thank you.
