What Does This MRI Report Indicate?
Hello sir. My wife was having high pain in low back side which goes to her left leg. on consulting to orthopedic he asked me for MRI. in MRI it is showing there is some slip disk in L4-L5 and L5-S1. He has given some medicines and advised complete bed rest with physiotherapy. i have started both but after 7 days there is not much relief. please suggest how much time slip disk takes to be cured.
