Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In Lower Back And Groin Area

L3/4 had mild annular bulge with right posterolateral with extraforinal tear. The AP demention of the sac measure 1cm. Right extraforaminal disc bulge with adjacent annular tear identified abutment of the extraforaminal right L3 spinal nerve noted. What does this actually mean and is this more than likely going to have to be surgically repaired. I have sever pain in lower back, left hip down thigh, in groin, LLQ of abdomen and my whole left thigh is numb with pins and needle like pain. It even hurts for clothes to touch the area.

Hi,

I would suggest to get MRI done to know exact site of compression of nerve by affected spine. A spinal surgeons advise for specific personal advise (medicines for neurogenic pain like Gabapentine / physiotherapy or surgical decompression procedure by microsurgery of lumbosacral spine.

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