Hi I am 27, suffering from disc bulge l4-l5 s1 since dec 2011. I have taken in total upto three sessions of physiotherapy 7 days each and upto three sessions of medications naprox, carnisure, optineuron. I am advised same treatment every time I go to my doc. I visit my doc every time I get severe apin usually once in 7-8 months. When I take meds and a session of physio my pain suppresses, I also do the advised excercises for back about 3 days in a week average ( unable to maintain everyday excercise routine uptil now). I am suffering the same pain again, should I follow the same treatment as before or what would you suggestThanks
HIF you were my patient I will prescribe a muscle relaxant also. That gives a good pain relief. And you can use a belt for disc bulge also. Continue physiotherapy. Ask your physiotherapist for belt. Hope this may help you thanks
