I've had lower back pain and pain down the back of one leg for the last 3 months. My MRI shows L5-S1 has a partial disc desiccation with a broad-based posterocentral disc protrusion pressing on both neural foramina, indenting the thecal sac and touching the S1 nerve roots. L4-L5 also has partial disc desiccation and a diffuse posterior bulge indenting the thecal sac but no major nerve compression. What are the non-surgical treatment options for this I've lost a lot of weight and now have bad posture could that be making my back pain worse How can I fix both the posture and the back and leg pain

View allI've been struggling with heavy breasts causing back pain, and despite trying different exercises, nothing seems to help. There's also excess fat under my arms that I'd like to reduce. Are there any effective home remedies or exercises that could help without needing surgery?
Yes, minimally invasive surgery is generally a good option. It usually results in faster recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring. However, final decision depends on imaging findings, symptoms, and your overall health—please consult your gynecologist.

my mri shows a diffuse annular bulge at l5s1 with minimal thecal sac compression but i have severe back pain what are the non-surgical treatment options to completely recover from this is this condition serious and what exercises should i do to help
A diffuse annular bulge at L5-S1, even with minimal thecal sac compression, can cause severe back pain. Non-surgical treatments like physical therapy, pain medication, and lifestyle modifications are often the first line of management and can lead to significant recovery. This condition is not typically life-threatening but can be debilitating if left unmanaged.
