Suggest Treatment For Back Pain With Cyst In Kidney
Hello,
I am suffering from back pain for the past few years. I took an MRI scan recently and have found out that I have Disc Bulging at L4-L5. My pain is mostly from my left side lower back. I also have a 0.1 mm cyst in my left side kidney which may be contributing to the pain as per the doctor. I did so many tests and visits but the conclusions are the same and the medicines are just for reducing the pain. This has been going on for years now. Please help me to find out the cure for this pain. I would appreciate your help.
Thank you.

Dear patient
First of all your back pain is due to disc bulge and not from kidney cyst. Such a small cyst is incidental finding and is harmless. Now since pain is for years and not relieved with drugs next line of tratmwnt is epidural steroid injection. It's helpful in relieving chemical neuritis due to disc prolapse and effective in pain relief. So visit pain specialist nearby you and ask for it. It's opd procedure and with no significant side effects.
