How To Treat Disc Prolapsed At L4-L5 And L5-S1 Causing Pain From Lower Back?
Sir, I am Sri Teja Raj Naik, from Bargarh, Orissa suffering from Disc prolapsed at L4-L5 & L5-S1 and feeling radiating pain from my right lower back to right foot while standing and walking due to compression of right sided nerve root by L4-L5 disc desiccation as revealed by an MRI scan since last mid April 2010. Firstly about for 2 months I could not even walk due to acute radiating pain and took bed rest. In the mean while I was taking Neurica-M 75 Capsule twice daily as suggested by a Neurosurgeon and practicising a little physiotherapy. Gradually I could walk slowly and now I am able to walk but still feeling pain while standing and walking. Sir, can it be cured completely by only physiotherapy or a surgery may be needed? Please advise Sir.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM and thanks for your query.
You have done well on physiotherapy and there is no need of surgery now.
You should also practice preventive measures like correct posture, using a firm orthopaedic mattress etc.
Take care
