Dear Mr Deep,

The pain in your lower back and in your left leg is due to the disc prolapse at L4-5 level. As described in the radiology report it appears to be of recent onset and of a mild degree.
Most of these patients recover completely in 15 - 30 days with
1. Bed rest (20-22hrs/day) for 10 days.
2. Analgesics and muscle relaxants
3. sometimes physiotherapy may be required for 10-15 days (SWD, IFT, UST, TENS)

To prevent it from coming
1. Spine strengthening exercises
2. Prevent lifting heavy weight.
3. Avoid squatting

In very few patients this pain may persist for whom the below are the options
1. Trans foraminal- spinal injections
2. spinal surgery

You need to see a neurosurgeon to get yourself examined and to get an appropriate advice based on your clinical condition.

regards,

Dr Goutham Cugati
