Hi, My name is Mohan. I have got back pain. Actually I started getting this 5 years ago due to my profession (computer engineer). I had taken an MRI at that time and heard that there was slight bulge in the disc at lower back, After that I used do some cardio and exercises and was not getting much of this. From last september I started getting this again, guess got this bcos I lifted some weignts without stretching exercises (not sure). Then later on I started doing excercises and on I last week I got my MRI done (lumbar spine with creening of whole spine was performed without contrast enhancement) to make sure everthing is fine. MRI states that There is a MILD DIFFUSE POSTERIOR BULGE of L4 - L5 and L5 - S1 DISCS indenting the Thecal SAC. DOCTOR mentioned that some pshyio therapy execise would be enough. I was curios to hear from you as well. Please let me know your thoughts.
Hi, Your problem might be due to pinched nerve pressure due to degenerative changes in your disc and spines. Go for physiotherapy like back extension exercises daily. Short way diathermy will be helpful. Avoid heavy weight lifting. Avoid more bending from back. Take calcium, vitamin A and D supplements. Ok and take care.
