<human>: Sir, my mother is suffering from severebavk pain and she also sufferinf from pain in her right shoulder and right portion of her body.As per MRI report following points were highlighted:diffuse disc bulge from L2-3 toL4-5causing narrowing of bilateral neural foramina.Ligamentum flavum hypertrophy is seen at L3-4 and L4-5 levels.Facet joint arthropathy is seen in leftL3-4 facet joint.please advise the remedy measures in this case.
<bot>: Hello, I have studied your case. Your MRI says foraminal protrusion causes bilateral foraminal stenosis which leads to compression of exiting nerve root which later on supply lower limb [leg]. Due to compression of this nerve root there is tingling numbness in your leg and pain associated with it. Medication like methylcobalamine with muscle relaxant and analgesic will reduce pain; you can take them consulting your treating doctor. You may consult physiotherapist for further guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level. As MRI shows disc compressing on nerve root then surgical decompression is permanent solution. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Take care.
