What Is The Treatment For Back Pain Caused By Spondylosis?
Dear Doctor,
My name is eldhose and i am 25 years old. Presently i am in Qatar.
I have severe lower back pain. after MRI my doctor told that i have a disease called spondylosis at L5 - S1. He told there is no specific treatment for this problem and I have to take pain reviler tablets when pain occurs.
Actually is there any final treatment available to eliminate this disease?

Hello
Your MRI findings suggests degenerative disc disease of L/S spine.
There are spondylotic changes at L5-S1 level.
Degenerative changes occurs due to aging and weakness in annulus fibrosis.
It is important to know status of nerve roots means there is any compression on nerve roots or not,whether there is disc prolapse or not.
Your findings suggest mild degenerative changes.
Majority of the cases of degenerative spine disease are benefited by physiotherapy and analgesics.You should try physiotherapy first.
Treatment can be planned after consultation with neurologist.
Get well soon.
