Hello.... I have had severe lower back into left thigh pain for 4 months. Tried going to chiropractor with little or no relief if not worse after treatment. Finally had MRI L/S which shows I have a large left lateral recess disc protrusion leading to severe left lateral recess impingement at L5-S1. there is associated moderate canal narrowing at L5-S1 due to large disc protrusion. What advice can you give me about resolving my pain?
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. After going through your query I think your You are suffering from lumbar disc prolapse. There are two treatment options. First option is Rest in position of relief(generally lateral position with both knee bend), NUROKIND GOLD ONCE DAILY and analgesics (Diclofenac three times a day after meals is effective). Sometimes strong analgesic(such as attract three times a day after meals) is required. OMEPRAZOLE 20 MG before meals prevent acidity caused by analgesics. This method needs patience as it take longer treatment times sometimes up to 6 months. Second option is go for surgical operation(Discectomy) I think your query answered.
