Disc bulge treatment
I have been taking physiotherapy sessions from last 15 days due to pain in my back and left leg because my orthopedic surgeon suggested me to do so without any tests he said I have sciatica.But my pain was stagnant in my thighs so I consulted another orthopedic surgeon and after MRI (report is attached) he gave me -
1. neurotrat np for 2 months and
2. medrol 8 mg for 5 days
3. Nucoxia mr for 5 days ( take only if there is pain in back)
And suggested me to take only Tens and IFT and avoid exercises and be on rest but my physiotherapist is saying to do exercise.
I am confused what should I do?
