Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your symptoms and MRI report findings. L4-L5 disc disease is common in people with desk jobs, in the absence of regular exercises. There is no need to worry, as significant improvement can be obtained by proper treatment and precautions. The most important is to start physiotherapy with IT, ultrasound, etc. Back extension exercises should also be started. You should avoid forward bending and lifting heavy weights. For pain, you may take pregabalin or gabapentin capsules. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/
