Lower back pain
I am having lower back pain since March after heavy lifting. My MRI shows an absolutely mild L4-5 circumferential disc bulge causing mild indentation of lateral recess. All discs are normal in shape and size. However, my MRI shows no evidence of any nerve compromise. Still I'm having right buttock pain and burning pain in my right calf.
My physio suggests that as per the MRI it is purely muscular and has not much to do with my disc.
What could be the problem?
I hope to return to joining back with my Basketball team.
Thanks.
