Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
Hi and welcome to HCM

The MRI report is suggestive of spinal disc herniation with nerve root compression in the spine. The spinal disc herniation is also called slipped disc- it is a condition affecting the spine, in which a tear in the outer, fibrous ring of an intervertebral discallows the soft, central portion to buldge out.
The main treatment of such pain is bed rest along with pain killers and muscle relaxants. Muscle relaxants can help with the symptoms if used in appropriate dosage in combination with a potent analgesic.
You can get the appropriate drugs prescribed from an Orthopedician or a spine surgeon after examination.
Meanwhile she can follow these measures:
- If the pain is severe, she needs bed rest till the pain resolves.
- Get some analgesics prescribed and apply analgesic spray or ointments.
- While resting, keep a pillow under the knees if it doesn't bother you.
- Avoid lifting heavy objects.
- Back strengthening exercises and stretching exercises for hamstrings daily as advised by a Physiotherapist.
- Avoid exercises in times of pain

Hope this will helps you. Take care.
