[|Human|] I am having burning sensation in my lower back. On diagnosis it has bee found that there is problem in l5-s1 area where nerves have been depressed due to bulging of disc.Too many medicines I have taken during last 5-6 years( gabantin cobalmin etc ) but of no effects.Ultimately i have left taking all medicines and doing exercises as suggested by doctors and physiotherpist.Can my burning sensation be removed as I have never pain in my back so far.ThanksAge 73
[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Your history is suggestive of disc prolapse. The prolapsed disc is compressing the nerves around that area. The compression of the nerves is responsible for the burning sensation. Bed rest, painkillers, and physiotherapy are the initial means of treatment. Surgery may be required in cases where conservative treatment is not sufficient. If the burning sensation has disappeared then it means that the compression of the nerves is relieved. Continue your physiotherapy and stay in touch with your neurologist when required. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
