Suggest Remedy For Radial Tear With Stenosis

I have a Left paracentral disk herniation with radial tear at L4-5, mild stenosis and well as left foraminal narrowing. I have had three injections with little relief, horrible left leg and buttock pain, have been down for 7 days this time and doc wants to do another injection. I get some relief from pain killers, ice, muscle relaxants and mild stretching however I am not that mobile, I look like a 90 year old woman walking. What does all this mean and what are my options at this point.

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

You did not mention your age, treatment depends upon your symptoms, as described it seems that you are too much symptomatic, in simple terms there is compression of the nerve in your back by displaced disc, the disk has to be removed surgically to relieve the compression on the nerve.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Jaideep Gaver, Orthopedic Surgeon
