Lumbar Slip disc

2020-09-19 03:45:53
Having chronic back and sometimes leg pain for the past 5 years. MRI done in 2016 mentioned L5-S1 posterocentral disc protrusion causing indentation upon thecal sac and mild narrowing of bilateral lateral spinal recess. MRI image is attached. Should i use indian toilet or western? If western, then is it for always or temporary? Can indian toilet can be used in future? Although i don't get any pain by using indian toilet. Which one is better for spinal health in the long run? Thank you

lot of changes are expected in these 4 years since your MRI, (plus very few pics to comment on them) IF the pain has increased please get a consultation. At the age of 27 you need not compulsory use western toilets. But they are good in long run for your back and your knees. Live a normal life. Do physiotherapy
Next Steps
Excersice Lots of fluids daily
Health Tips
Avoid bending forward Avoid lifting heavy weight
