Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case and reports

Canal stenosis leads to swelling and pain in your back and leg.
Vascular occlusion can lead to blue discolouration of fingers.

For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
Epidural steroid shot can help.

She may need MRI and doppler to confirm diagnosis.
If there is no relief with all conservative measures then decompression with fusion or disc replacement can be done.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
