Detailed Answer:
Hello Pushpagandhi
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Yes, the MRI report shows some issues with the spinal cord, that is the reason for the back pain.
For the knee pain and the finger pain, please see a Rheumatologist to know if you are having arthritis.
Since the past 10 years, what have you used for family planning / contraception ?
Are your periods regular ?
Did you have difficulty in conceiving your first child ?
There is no specific method for conceiving only male or only female baby.
But I can advice you on how to get pregnant fast.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Take care.

Dear Doctor,
Thank you very much for your immediate response.

We have not used anything for the past 10 years as a prevention, Only safe periods (i.e after periods 5-10 days and 25-30 days).

Period is regular i.e between 28 to 32 days

Now my worry is since i have back pain and suffered a lot for the past one year. If i get pregnant then there will be a problem in back pain????

At this age of 38 will it have any problem and my husband age is 42

Thanks in advance.

Dear doctor,
I have forgotten one of your question. During the pregnant in first time we have consulted doctor and as per her advice tablet and injection taken after 5 days of periods. Then have a contact and scanned for 13,15 and 17 days. After that only pregnant taken place.
