[|Human|] Hello Dr. !! I am 27 yr old .I have lower back pain for some month. MRI reveal wide based porterocentral disc protrusion at L5-S1 level resulting into partial bilateral neural canalicular narrowing (Left more than right). No disc bulge is seen at any other level in the lumber region I feels ripping sometime at hips and some kind of heaviness in pelvic area.. Please consult me . Thanks!!
[|AI|]  Hi, thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. The conservative management of low back pain is as follows -* avoid forward bending activities as it will worsen the disc protrusions* Use a lumbosacral back support to augment your spinal muscles* Physiotherapy to strengthen your paravertebral muscles. Physiotherapy has to be done only after the acute pain has subsided.* avoid lifting heavy weights as it imparts more strain on your back* Maintain optimum body weight, if you are obese* analgesics & muscle relaxants as needed Hope this information is helpful. Good day
