[|AI|]  Hello and Welcome to Chat Doctor, Thanks for writing to us. I understand you have back pain. These symptoms are part of lumbar disc degeneration with PIED where the nerves get compressed by the protruded disc. There are several treatment modalities with medicines, physiotherapy and with injections in the back called epidural injections and root/facet blocks. If you don't get better with this treatment, I suggest you undergo surgery, by which the nerves are decompressed by removing the protruded disc (discectomy), which would significantly improve your symptoms Hope this helps you. Wishing you good health... Regards.  Chat Doctor. Orthopedic Surgeon.
