Question 2

I've been told my L1L2 and L3L4 disc space is mildly reduced with early degenerative changes should I be worried about this getting worse as I get older? Could this turn into a serious issue down the line, and would I ever need surgery for it?

Accepted Answer

Mild disc space reduction may not progress quickly. Lifestyle changes, physio, and monitoring help. Surgery is only needed if symptoms worsen significantly.

Question 3

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with this pain just above the tip of my coccyx for the past 7 years. I've been taking diclofenac sodium and paracetamol, but I'm looking for a more permanent solution, maybe something homeopathic. It's really tough because I can't sit for long periods and any jerking motion makes it worse, even small movements are painful. The pain is now spreading to my legs, and I occasionally get a fever when it's bad. My MRI results showed a disc bulging at L5S1, nerve compression, lumbar lordosis, and acute angulation of the coccyx. I'm 31 years old and would really appreciate some advice on a suitable long-term solution or medication.

Accepted Answer

see your specialist for  further treatment

My MRI showed ligament damage but I'm not sure if surgery is the only option. Are there other treatments I could try first or is surgery really necessary in my case? I'm a bit worried about going under the knife if there are alternatives that might work.

for P/E ORTHO specialist opinion is advised to the patient.
