Does Lumbar Spondylosis Have Long Term Effects?
I have had 3 episodes of back pains leading to inability to walk, sit or even stand up. It lasted at different times for between 2-3 months and all pains and symptoms disappeared after treatment. The last MRI that I did concluded that I had lumbar spondilosis. I am 42 years old and feel concerned about this development and its implication for my longetivity and future well being. I am a sedentary office worker. I will appreciate your expert opinion on my concern.

Hi,
You did not mention your exact MRI report however as your concern you have to follow certain lifestyle modifications so there should be no longterm effect.
1. avoid lifting heavy weight and bending forward too frequently.
2. always sit straight with back support.
3. do spinal extension exercises regularly.
4. take supplements as required.
Follow these modifications and you will be alright with no future consequences.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
