MRI Showed Disc Protrusion, Pain And Numbness In Buttock And Leg
I have had MRI which indicated IMPRESSION: Small, broad right posterolateral disc protrusion at the L5-S1 level. This remains subligamentous in its location and I suspect is of little clinical significant. There are no clear findings to explain the patient symptoms. Then why do I have such pain and numbness in left butt cheek and leg

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query,
Your pain & numbness in left butt and leg is most probably due to pressure over nerve roots by protruded disc.
You have to do regular physiotherapy, avoid forward bending & lifting heavy weight, to lie on hard bed. These activities causes less pressure over nerve roots.
Regards.
