Hello, Thanks for posting your query. You are suffering from PIED (prolapsed inter vertebral disc) at L4-L5 level. But according to report there is no significant nerve compression, so you don't require surgery but to be confirmed by clinical examination. To get rid of this problem you can go for some medication, physiotherapy and some precautions. Precautions to be followed are :-* first don't lift weight* avoid jerky movements of spine* sleep on hard bed*do regular spine exercise Hope I have answered your query. Regards.
