No nerve root impingement is observed.And also Lumbar myospasm with early lumbar spondylosis changes.Patient is having pain in lower back and left thigh and hip area.Please suggest whether it is normal?
[|AI|]  Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I have gone through your query and understand your concern. You are suffering from Lumbar spinal canal stenosis. This is most commonly due to age related degeneration of tissues like cartilage and discs. It is usually associated with lumbar spondylosis. Spondylosis nothing but which is a defect or fracture on one or both of the wing-shaped parts of a vertebra. This lead to sliding of the vertebra over the lower vertebra and compressing the nerve root. This results in spinal canal narrowing. This may cause MySpace and pain in the supplying nerve root area.Thus, patient is having pain in lower back and left thigh and hip area.1. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) such as aspirin or ibuprofen may help relieve pain symptoms.2. Flexing the spine by leaning forward while walking relieves their symptoms. 3. Lying with the knees Chat Doctor. 4. Rest, aerobic activities may provide relief. Gradual resumption of work after rest is usually recommended. Surgery is the final option to release the nerve root and increase the spinal space. Hope this helps. Please reply for further queries. Wishing you good health.
