Disc Dessication At S1. On Bed Rest. Shooting Pain In Hips And Sitting For A While Is Difficult. When Will I Recover?
Hi doctor I have disc dessication at l5 s1 and the AP measures 4.9 mm as per 24th June report. It's been 5 weeks, 4 weeks of complete bed rest and now I have started walking 1 km a day. I still feel electric shock like sensation in my hips when I stand up. Sitting for more than 10 mins is very difficult. When will I recover

Hi, every orthopedic injury after the rest will hav ethe same experience, that is why they prefer physiotherapy to accomodate the parts.
I to my patients with such symptoms prescribe neurotropic injections for 10 consecutive days, and to be continued one injection every week, and pain killers when ever there is more pain. Thank you.
