Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. As you had a past injury of the lumbar disc and now on cancer treatment. Due to the cancer treatment there will be a metabolism issue and leading to the muscles to become weaker. As the muscles go week the bone falls on the disc and leads to Popping out of the disc and compressing the adjacent nerve root. Treatment. Physical therapy has been provided to patients in cancer treatment to improve the metabolism and avoid pain & aches due to muscle weakness. Physical therapy has been showing excellent results in disc injuries and also cancer Patients improvement in metabolism. In my clinical practice we prefer to match the bodies normal physiological processes to the optimum. Regards Jay In Chat Doctor.
