Which Type Of Treatment Is Suggested For Slipped Disc ?
Hi
I'm 26 years old male. I feel a slight pain at my lower right back. I have this pain since a year. This pain comes only sometimes when I'm stressed.
I have done some research online and found that it could be a slipped disc. I'm also feeling only 70-80% sensation in my right leg and right hand. Is this is a serious problem ?
I'm very scared of this and cannot go to a doctor, is this a curable thing by medicines?

Pain in leg has many causes . Are you also having tingling and numbness in your leg. Are you also a smoker. Are you also having pain during coughing and sneezing. These are typical sign of Disc disease. Do not be scared, get an MRI of lumbosacral spine. This will give us good idea how much disc is prolapsed.
