Severe back pain till hip joint
I fell down in January 2021 month end and had undergone an MRI as there is lower back pain to left hip joint.
I also had similar incident in 2019 and undergone an MRI , got confirmation that I need not undergo any surgery.
With recent fall, few doctors suggested surgery and few recommended rest for 3-4 weeks.
I am able to observe pain reduction slowly past one week and not using any pain killers. Able to walk on toes and heels.. there is no numbness in any leg and bladder control is also normal.
Please suggest any treatment apart from surgery and will I need to undergo surgery with my symptoms. Will I heal normally without surgery to get back to normal life or will there be any complications going further without surgery.

There is a big disc at L4/5 .
Although not much clinical symptoms, still you should be treated accordingly , as MRI clearly reveals the disc.
Your MRI report is incomplete too.

Consult online .
