Hello,

Thanks for writing in.

First I would like to know weather that pain associated with:-

* Radiation of pain in lower limb.
* Numbness & paresthesia in lower limb.

On x-ray diminished disc space between L4-L5 & L5-S1 might be due to PIVD (Prolasped inter vertebral disc) these level.

So , if these symptoms are present, get a MRI done to confirm this condition.

Meanwhile I recommend to follow following instructions:-

1) Lie on hard bed.
2) Back physiotheraphy.
3) Anti -inflammatory drugs to reduce the inflammation over nerve roots.
4) Avoid forward bending.
5) Avoid sternous activity & lifting heavy weights.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any more concern.

wishing you good health.

Regards.
