Hello,

I have studied your case.

You may need to do MRI spine again to see for nerve compression


Due to compression of this nerve root there is pain associated with it.
There is possibility of discitis, which can be confirmed by MRI with contrast or CT myelogram.

For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and TENS therapy will help
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
