Hi- Have had progressive pain in lower back, R buttock & R hip. Unable to sleep well thru night or difficulty with any activity. MRI- multilevel degenerative changes most pronounced at L3-L4 where there is mild to moderate central spinal canal stenosis. Mild foraminal compression of the right L3 and left L4 nerve roots. This is 3rd MRI that has progressively worsened past 3 years. I ve seen chiropracters, physical therapy, steroid injections and massage.
Since these conservative treatment modalities did not improve your condition, in my opinion, surgery (decompression) should be considered. This also because the MRI findings show stenosis and worsening. Discuss with a Neurosurgeon for these issues.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
