View allI've been diagnosed with a slipped L4L5S1 disc and doctors are recommending surgery but I'm scared of going under the knife. Is it possible to manage the severe lower back and left leg pain without surgery? What are my other options?
Yes, it's possible to manage a slipped L4L5S1 disc and associated pain without surgery. Conservative treatments like physical therapy, medications, and injections are often the first line of defense.

I had surgery for a slipped disc at L5-S1 level about 10 months ago but still have persistent pain in my calf and hip. The MRI showed diffuse disc bulge with postero central herniation. Why am I not getting complete relief even after the surgery? Could there be any complications or do I need further treatment?
Persistent pain after a herniated disc surgery can be due to various reasons, including residual nerve compression, scar tissue, or other complications like failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS). Further treatment options might include physical therapy, nerve blocks, or even repeat surgery, depending on the underlying cause and severity of the pain. It's crucial to discuss your ongoing pain with your surgeon to determine the best course of action.

My MRI shows disc desiccation and a large posterocentral disc protrusion at L4-L5 compressing nerve roots and effacing the thecal sac with mild facetal arthropathy. Does this require surgery or can it be managed with medication? Also noticed focal hemangiomas in D10 and D12 vertebrae should I be concerned about those? The rest seems normal but I'm worried about the compression
Disc protrusion with nerve compression may need surgery if symptoms are severe—hemangiomas are usually harmless unless symptomatic.
