What Medication Is Suggested For Minor Disc Bulge L5?

Hello, my name is charley, i am currently writing to you as my girlfriend has suffered from a minor disk bulge L5, but seems to have gotten worse, no doctor has been listening to her and all they do is traction and acupuncter but if anything has made her feel worse, her new doctor has sent her for more scans as he thinks it could be a fracture in her sacrum! But my main worry is, we were trying to have sex as it has been a little while, but she could not feel any sensation inside her vagina, no feeling what so ever, is this serious? I dont know what to do i am scared for her, please any suggestions and am i worrying over nothing? Thank you for your time

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hi Charley. Your girl friend has Disc Bulge L5 which is getting worse and has no feeling while having sex. It is quite possible that there is a severe pressure on her disc and the transmission of sensation at that level is reduced .I would strongly recommend a MRI scan and NCV Studies to see the pressure on nerves.
I find this answer helpful
