Spinal chords problem

2018-02-12 16:49:59
Hello, i have a disc herniation problem since past 8-10 months. Right now the backpain is not there but the leg pain has started since last week, which is i guess Sciatica. I have consulted many doctors regarding this. I have got mixed reviews. Some says that you have to go for surgery but many says that it will get recover by doing physiotherapy. The pain in leg stays ony for 3-4 hours in the morning, rest of the day its nothing.! What exercise should i do? Can i do swimming or cycling? I have attached MRI scans also. What else should i do??!

Hi, if you got leg Pain nerve root block helps. If it is big disc some times surgery helps, if you got bladder and bowel problem - urgent surgery is needed. No neurology then - there is no urgency. If you pain persists after 6 months then surgery is best option. Consult spinal surgeon.
