Lower right back pain
For the last 2 days, I have been experiencing severe back pain in the lower right back. I have taken Flexura D for pain relief but it didn't provide any relief. Then I consulted my family doc and he asked to have a CT Scan done. In the CT scan report it was mentioned that:
1. Straightening of the lumbar spine is noted.
2. Disc bulges at L4-L5 and L5-S1 levels causing mild thecal sac compression.
3. Haemangioma in the L5 vertebral body.
My doctor asked to consult an orthopedist for further treatment.
Can someone please help me with the meaning of the above points and what would be the impact of these and with the above conditions, is it advisable to travel by road. I have to travel on 11th Nov.
