My mom is having pain in lower back with pain,numbness, pins and needles below knee area and sometimes in hands and between neck and shoulder as well.
MRI says following three thing:
1: Castellvi type 2A(right) lumbosacral transitional vertebra at L5
2: L3-L4 disc -> circumferential disc bulge indenting thecal sac & compressing bilateral traversing L4 roots at lateral recess.
3: L4-L5 disc -> Diffuse annular bulge indenting thecal sac & compressing bilateral traversing L5 root at lateral access( right > left).
Please help me telling best place I can take her in Bangalore (or in India) to get this treated properly because its been a year she is facing this problem and is this just a ortho issue or neuro as well ?

Sorry to know the ordeal she is going through.
She needs a good assessment by an Orthopaedic Surgeon. ..
She is suffering from a condition called sciatica. ..or in layman term..slipped disc.
Treatment will be decided after a complete clinical evaluation.
There is not much a neurologist can do in this...
Orthopedic surgeon or a neurosurgeon will help. There is no technical difference between the two when it comes to treating this condition.
