Hello, I have studied your cased to compression of nerve root there can be back pain associated with it. For these symptoms analgesic and neurotrophic medication can be started. Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level. Epidural steroid may help. If there is no relief with all conservative measures then decompression with fusion can be done. 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.
