[|AI|]  Thank you for contacting Chat Doctor. The report describes multi-level disc prolapse with nerve root compression and spondylitic changes. Treatment depends on symptoms and examination findings. In the initial phase, physiotherapy is very useful. This includes back extension exercises, traction and use of treatments like IT, ultrasound to relieve pain. You can get more details after contacting your physiotherapist. If the patient has pain, neuropathic pain medications are useful. This includes pregabalin, gabapentin, amitriptyline, etc. These are prescription medications and your GP/neurologist can prescribe them. In about 10% of cases, surgery may be required. Surgery is required in patients where medical treatment has failed or if there is severe leg pain, or as decided on the basis of clinical examination. Best wishes, Chat Doctor.
