For your information I suffered from a slip disc oo the L1, 2, & 3 & S1. could you please suggest a prescription for me. the pain sometimes can be very excruciating. Thank you
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. As you have Slip disc issue, the pain in the back and left hip will be high dude to pinch of the nerve. Also, as you know you have this issue, I will recommend you to undergo physical therapy. As per the evidence of physical therapy and Slip disc the effect of physical therapy on slip disc is positive, so I will recommend the same. Also, you need to strengthen your core and hip muscles as well along with knee. One the trunk and lower limb becomes stronger, you pain and aches should reduce with better stability of the spine.in my clinical practice we recommend such cases for physical therapy, and they respond well.
