Neurologist,  's  Response
Hello Mr Vinod,
Thank you for contacting Healthcare Magic.
I have reviewed your MRI reports. First of all, let me reassure you that there are no serious findings in your report. These findings are seen in lumbar spondylosis. Common symptoms may include back pain and leg pain.
Treatment includes medications to relieve the pain (such as paracetamol, aceclofenac or gabapentin, pregabalin) and physiotherapy. Medications are prescription medications, which can be prescribed by your treating doctor.
Physiotherapy is also important for relief of symptoms and preventing disease progression. This includes treatments like IFT/US (for pain relief) and back extension exercises. Your physiotherapist can guide you in more detail.
You should avoid lifting heavy weights and forward bending.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology)
