Degenerative Disc bulge L4-L5 L5-S1
My mother has been facing back pain for last 15 years and took many medicines including ayurveda treatment and allopathy. Recently she has severe pain and when we consulted doctor they said, that there is a disc bulge in L4-L5, L5-S1 level. Please suggest a way forward. If operation is mandatory, how much would it cost?

She needs proper evaluation by local Orthopaedic or spine surgeon clinically.many times, just by MRI report, if someone goes, it can be misleading. Patient's history and examination clarify many things.

so please take your mother to nearby ortho or spine surgeon
