Hello Doctor XXXXXXX

I am doing good. Back pain is mild and in the morning when, I wake up pain is on higher side.
I am not taking any medicines.

Back pain is on L4 & L5. I checked with doctor and he said about something called disc bulge which is very minor. And asked me to do physical activities.

Let me know if you require further information.

Thanks!
