2. You are having disc herniation in lumbar spine mainly at L4-L5.
3. Some arthritic changes in the neck also.
4. Low serum B 12 level
Your doctor has prescribed you injection of vitamin D and vitamin B 12. He has also given you muscle relaxant and pain killer.
I would also like to suggest you following.
1. Avoid using very high pillow, forward bending and lifting heavy weight.
2. Voletran ointment and hot water fomentation.

Brief Answer:
Decaduroboline is steroid
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Decaduroboline is a anabolic steroid. I do not use it in my practice, but it does not have any side effect. Single steroid is not going to trouble you. If you want you can avoid this also.
Architol is injection of vitamin D. Your vitamin D level is low so you need to take this. Do not avoid this.
thanks
