Hello,

It looks that you are facing severe problem. In your case with reduced disc space (most probably due to degenerative changes at spine), I shall advise you to consult to your doctor, best will be a spine surgeon, for further treatment. In such cases spine fusion surgery is best. Foraminal block will also give you a temporary relief. Your neurosurgeon is best guide for this problem.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
