Suggest Treatment For Herniated Disc In Lower Lumbar Spine While Treating DDD

I have a herniated disc in the lower lumbar spine and also in the S discs. I do have degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, rheumatoid arthritis. My pain goes from the disc into my leafy hip. I am now limping. The Percocet and Baclofen help some, but I can t walk long, lift or bend over very well. I do not want back surgery where they cut the discs out and replace them with plates and screws. What would you think is a good idea.

Hello,

Herniated inter-vertebral disc can be managed with bed rest and pain killers. I suggest you to consult an orthopedist for clinical assessment, relevant investigations and thus management.

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