Report
My husband aged 29 is diagnosed with prolapsed intervertebral disc. Below is the extract from MRI REPORT: "Straightening of lumbar spine is seen. Visualized vertebral bodies appear normal in height, alignment and marrow signal intensity for age, with subtle focal fatty changes seen at places. Modic type II end plate changes with partial disc dessication changes in lower lumbar region manifesting as subtle loss of hyperintense signal on T2W images with mildly reduced intervertebral disc space at L5/S1 level. Broad based posterior and forminal disc bulge with posterocentral, right paramedian, foramina disc protrusion, annular tear is seen at L5/S1 level causing thecal sac indentation and mild focal canal stenosis with compression on bilateral exiting nerve roots (right > left). AP canal diameter is 10 mm. Now, the pain in his right leg is fine. But there is a continuous pinching in his lower back which pains while walking or sitting for more than 10 min. Can you tell me the best permanent treatments other than surgery as it has been 2 months he is resting at home. Though there is remarkable improvement but we want something permanent and more effective. Current medication involve neurobion forte, CCM, Lyrika 75 and warm heat belt therapy.
