Hi doctor I have disc dessication at l5 s1 and the AP measures 4.9 mm as per 24th June report. Its been 5 weeks, 4 weeks of complete bed rest and now I have started walking 1 km a day. I still feel electric shock like sensation in my hips when I stand up. Sitting for more than 10 mins is very difficult. When will I recover
Hi, every orthopedic injury after the rest will have the same experience, that is why they prefer physiotherapy to accommodate the parts.  I to my patients with such symptoms prescribe neurotrophic injections for 10 consecutive days, and to be continued one injection every week, and painkillers when ever there is more pain. Thank you.
