Prothiaden 25mg (Once daily)

Hi there
I have reviewed the attached report.
There is multiple level disc disease. This can cause mild nerve compression. It does not need surgery right now. An epidural steroid injection can be given for relief in the spine. I suggest physiotherapy, avoid bending forward or lifting heavy objects, application of warm wet packs and warm showers.
