Suggest remedy for back pain
Patient: Hello Doctor, I am female of 40 years old.  I have back pain and my MRI report says as below: ** Exagerrated lumbar larodosis. ** Right paracentral disc prolapse at L4-L5 indenting the thecal sac and displacing the ventral nerve root posteriorly. ** Diffuse disc bulge at L3-L4 indenting the thecal sac and narrowing bilateral neural foramina. Please advise what is the above problem and what's the treatment for this.  Thanks Doctor: HelloThanks for your query.After going through your query I came to know that you are probably  suffering from lumbar disc prolapse. It is confirmed by MRI scan. There are two treatment options.First option is rest in position of relief(generally lateral position with both knee bend),neurotopics such as mecobalamin and analgesics (Diclofenac three times a day after meals is effective). Sometimes strong analgesic(such as tramadol three times a day after meals) is required. Omeperazole before meals  prevent acidity caused by analgesics .Second option is go for surgical operation(Discectomy).  You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.
