Detailed Answer:
Hello, Madam.

I can certainly understand your concerns.

I have worked through your query in detail.

Prolapsed disca can be effectively managed through surgery.

The source of pain in your case is due to spine impingement mostly.

I can guide you better, if you can please upload images of the MRI along the impression report.

This will effectively Help me to help you.
Thank you.
