Report
An MRI of my lower back revealed I have a loss of Lumbar Lordosis. The other standout point from the report was: Findings: Loss of Lumbar Lordosis L4-5 DISC: Mild annular disc�bulge with a posterior central protrusion and annular fissure causing mild�anterior thecal sac indentation. The sagittal canal diameter at various disc levels are as follows: L1-2--14 mm, L2-3--13 mm, L3-4--12 mm, L4-5--11 mm, L5-S1--15 mm IMPRESSION:�Mild annular bulge of L4-5 discwith a posterior central protrusion and annular fissure causing mild anterior thecal sac indentation. What is a possible timescale of recovery? Should I be exercising during this time (Not lifting weights-Only bodyweight exercises) Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.

hi. its mild disc prolapse. surgery is not required .but you should avoid forward bending,weight lifting and squatting postures. use a flat bed to sleep. if you follow these precautions then disease will not increase further. for pain you can use volini gel. for further queries and medications you can consult me online.
