Protuded disc problem
My sister has inferior inclined broad based paracentral subligamentous protuded disc at L5/S1 level compressing ventral thecal sac md neutral exit foramina. Physiotherapy sometimes help in reducing the pain in her back and sometimes doesnt. Can u please suggest a good solution for this?? It would be kind if you can specify some good nerve specialist also in india??
Protruded disc problems are seen by Neurosurgeons and some Orthopedic surgeons with special interest in spinal surgery.
It is best to search for such doctors in your vicinity and meet them. A detailed history and clinical examination is needed to assess the benefit of surgery if any, or if the symptoms can be relieved by appropriate medication and rehabilitation exercises.
Next Steps
A second opinion or even a third from a reputed Neurosurgeon or Orthopedic Spinal Surgeon will help confirm the management suggested as correct.
Health Tips
Any dangerous red flags like numbness or weakness in limbs or difficulty in passing urine/ stools warrant immediate visit to the doctor as emergency. Neurological function once lost is very difficult and sometimes impossible to reverse.
