[|AI|]  Hi, Thank you for posting your query. As per your MRI report, you have disc prolapse at two levels in the lumbar region (lower back). This is probably causing compression of a few lumbar nerves, that go to the legs. Your leg pain and numbness could be related to the disc prolapse.  Initial treatment consists of neuropathic pain medications such as pregabalin or gabapentin capsules, and physiotherapy. In some cases, surgery may be required. Your surgeon would be able to guide you well, after examining you. Best wishes, Chat Doctor.
