Can The Lower Back Pain Be Cured By Medicines Or Exercises?

Hi Doctors, This is Ahamed aged 31, Male, suffering from lower back pain. MRI shows Diffuse disk bulge at L4-L5 and L5-S1 levels mildly indenting the thecal sac with mild abutment of bilateral existing nerve roots. Doctor prescribed me tablets for 10 days and advised to take rest( Not to lift any weight or bending back) for 10 days. Can this issue be cured by medicine and exercise? Also Shall I have sex during these period of 10 days? Will sex affect my back by any chance? Thanks Ahamed

Dear; thanks for using our service, I read your question with care and will give you my advise. First of all, you have multilevel disc problem with compression of the canal.That is why you have back pain . The oral medication can help ,but rest is very important too. Not only to avoid bending and lifting weight but also to avoid sexual activity during this time because it can aggravate the pain.There is no medicine to cure this, exercise can improve the strength of the back muscle but need to do it with care and supervision. You might need to have an evaluation with a pain management to consider epidural block.
I hope that my advise has been helpful
