Brief Answer:
Please attach reports
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX
Thanks for the query
You are having this type of pain because of the slip disc pressing on the nerves.
Sorry, but I'm unable to see any attached reports in this query.
Please do furnish your MRI report, xray film if possible.
Avoid bending forwards or lifting weights. Do back extension and strengthening exercises. Get TENS therapy done for the lower back by Physiotherapist.
If the slip disc is mild, you can be managed on medication.
If moderate, an Epidural steroid injection will help.
If severe, you may require discectomy to remove the slipped disc.
I hope I have answered your query.
I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
