Hi I have lower back pain recurring sometimes, resulting into bed rest. MRI report shows mild disk bulging and ortho doctor prescribed few yoga poses and Vitamin-D and one more muscle relaxant tablet. I still do have mild pain if I sit in Indian style toilet, but not intense, in the morning and it goes away towards the afternoon. Are there any other tests or consultation that you may would like to suggest?
