Thank you for asking Healthcare majic.

My name is Dr Ehsan Ullah &
I have gone through your query.

I would like to suggest you get an digital X-ray lumbo-sacral region AP and Lateral view along with MRI lumbo-sacral area with T1 and T2 images. Then visit your neurosurgeon to get confirmed about prolapsed inter-vertebral disc compressing nerve roots. Then the treatment plan can be decided accordingly which can be either conservative(medical) or surgical.

Meanwhile you can use Tab.Brexin 30mg BD
Tab.Ternaline 2mg TDS
Tab.Gabapentin 75mg TDS.

Also changing your life style like no more stairs climbing,not much sitting at same position,losing weight if you are obese and proper exercise as advised by physiotherapist will give you about 90% relief from this problem.




Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
