Hello, I have studied your case. Your MRI says stenosis which leads to compression of exiting nerve root which later on supply lower limb [leg]. Due to compression of this nerve root there is tingling numbness in your leg and pain associated with it. Medication like methylcobalamine with muscle relaxant and analgesic will reduce pain; you can take them consulting your treating doctor. You may consult physiotherapist for further guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level. MRI shows disc compressing on nerve root then surgical decompression is permanent solution. Yes you may again need surgery. Hope this answers your query.
