[|AI|]  Dear Concerned., Thanks for writing to us. You have been suffering from PIED(Prolapse InterVertebral Disc) at multiple levels with mild scoliosis and Osteophyte formation. Hope you have already done MRI and confirmed all the above. The following preventative steps can be undertaken, 1)Absolute Bed Rest for 08 weeks on a Hard Bed without any cushions.2)Lumbosacral Belt or Support with correct measurements from an Orthopedic Vendor.3)Regular Physiotherapy such as SWD and Traction for 30 minutes twice a day.4)Use of a Western Toilet and avoiding Squatting in an Indian Toilet.5)Avoid bending abruptly and avoid lifting of any weight. In addition to the above consult a Spinal Surgeon for, A)Opioid Analgesic and muscular relaxant. B)Determine whether you can be posted for an endoscopic minimally invasive discectomy procedure. C)Whether scoliosis can also be corrected at the same time. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Best Regards., Chat Doctor.
