[|AI|]  HelloThanks for writing to Chat Doctor You have age related degenerative disease of spine in the form of osteophytes, disc prolapse etc. Disc prolapse is due to weakness of annulus fibrosis and disc prolapse is causing pain in your case. Treatment is physiotherapy and surgery. Long term benefits are same in both the modalities. Other modalities are ozone ablation and radiofrequency ablation. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.
