Hello,

Well, you have a disc problem. L5 S1 is most commonly involved area and symptoms like severe pain in the back, and this pain also radiates to the leg because the nerve supply is from here. You have spent six years with this condition and have disturbed your quality of life. It surgically treated before.

No medical treatment will help you in reducing pain. The more you are late, the more it will affect your quality of life. Do an MRI scan now. My advice to you is that it is now time to go to the neurosurgeon. So that he can assess you, and consult you about the treatment option.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nizar Ali
