Will Renerve Injection Help In Relieving The Bilateral Numbness In The Legs?

I am 70 years old. On MRI, I was found to have lumbar disk herniation. I am having bilateral leg numbness and weakness and unable to walk even short distances. I have been prescribed Renerve Plus injection and complete bedrest for a month. Will this be helpful? I am not interested in surgical correction

Hello

MRI findings indicate lumbar disc herniation.Level of herniation is not mentioned in the report .
It is important to know other findings like nerve root compression,spinal canal stenosis etc.
Inter vertebral disc herniation may be the reason for your symptoms.
Renerve plus is a multi vitamin and anti oxidant combination.It is genarlly prescribed in peripehral neuropathy.It is not expected to give much relief.

Many patient get relief by conservative treatment in the form of physiotherapy,muscle relaxants,analgesics.
Now a days, many surgery are done by minimum invasion like endoscopic method.
Steroid shots are also helpful.
Findings need clinical assessment by a neurologist/neurosurgeon.

Get well soon.
Take Care
