How to treat lumbar bulging disc that causes pain in legs, buttocks?
Patient: I have lumber buldge disks pain shooting pain down legs and in buttocks have tried nerve blocks and steroid epidurials but nothing seems to help. On very extreme meds also seen an surgeon for back to see if sitting on nerve.  What'ts next? Can,t bend over I feel something pulling my day to day living has changed. Doctor: I have read your query, kindly get a MRI lumbar spine and if already done send report, as the symptoms are not relieved with nerve block and medications, surgery would be very beneficial for you. These are minimal invasive procedure now a days so very safe.
