My MRI shows desiccation of the L4-L5 disc causing nerve root compression. I get pain when walking, and it's making daily activities hard. Is this a serious issue? What nonsurgical treatments are available? Can it heal without surgery, and what are the chances of recovery without going under the knife?

I have a gun stock deformity and heard surgery is the only fix what are the risks involved? Also, will there be any post-surgery issues if I plan to lift heavy weights afterward? I'm worried about how it might affect my strength training.

I'm dealing with a lingering pain in my left leg after lifting weights. The pain seems to radiate down to the middle dorsal side of my knee. I've been taking nervite and ultradase tablets, but the discomfort seems chronic now. What should I do next?
After weight lifting, you have developed chronic pain in your left leg, specifically on the middle dorsal side down to the knee. I recommend taking a combination of pain relievers and anti-inflammatory medications. You can take a tablet of Aceclofenac 100mg along with Thiocolchicoside 4mg. This will help reduce the pain and inflammation in your leg. Additionally, I suggest applying a topical pain relief gel containing Diclofenac to the painful area. This will provide localized relief from the pain and discomfort. Make sure to rest your leg, elevate it when possible, and avoid any strenuous activities that may exacerbate the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
