[|Human|] Hello Doctor, I am suffering from spinal cord problem since 2 years. It started due to dry cough and also went to gym which has aggravated the problem. I had taken MRI scan and found that slip disc got bulged and it is touching the nerves which is causing pain in the right leg. I underwent ayurvedic treatment which gave relief for one and half year. Now for the past 6 months i am getting pain in my spinal cord area i.e., on my backbone. Can you suggest me the best remedy for this as I am not able to bear the pain. Thanks & Regards,Vinayak
[|AI|]  HiT hank you for asking Chat Doctor. Your problem is most likely due to intervertebral disc herniation. Usually most people get that in lumbosacral region. For such condition in my patients I treat with NSAIDs like diclofenac muscle relaxants like cyclobenzaprine and neurotrophic Chat Doctor.  I also send them to physiotherapy along with this. Lumbar supporting belts also is helpful. For some it will take 1 month to recover. For some it may take 3 to 6 months. If no improvement then a surgical correction is advised. Hope this may help you. Let me know if you have any further queries.
