How Can Spinal Injury Be Treated?
Hello. I have a grade 4 tear in the L4 L5 disc with is degenerative and moderately bulging. I hear there is a high probability that it will not heal. Do you agree and if so what are my options? Epidurals are no longer working. Also I’ve already had a fusion at L5 S1. The tear has been there for 14 months now.

Hi
You have a spinal injury and you already know that. And you have done a fusion surgery. I suggest you visit an orthopedic surgeon for further details.
