Hello Doctor,Im Balaji Mahalingam from India.

In few visit my pain will get relief. But recently I got sever back pain i went to Clinic they took MRI scan. The scan clearly say i have disc compression it pressing my left side of my nerve root the pain go down all the way to tip of my toe. For the last one month Im doing 1 hour continues Traction Therapy at home and last two week Im doing exercise. But still I have pain in my left leg. I dont wish to take surgery so please help me this.
Hi Balaji, You are suffering from low back pain with radiculopathy probably due to posterior inter vertebral disc prolapse and requires your neurological status and clinical evaluation with investigations hence visit orthopedics hospital preferably specialist in spine management.  There is no point in refusing surgery in these condition if your orthopaedition suggests you for it (otherwise once permanent neurological damage occurs then prognosis is poor).  So in my opinion visit orthopedics hospital & Till then 1) avoid bending forward strictly (with rest)2) warm compression3) regular physiotherapy (posterior spinal exercise)4) Tab methylcobalamine once a day5) Analgesic (NSAID), muscle relaxant with proton pump inhibitor for pain for a week and then as and when required .HOPE THIS WILL HELP THANKS AND REGARDS
