Hello, Thanks for your query on Lybrate "As" per your clinical history is concerned please follow like this - 1) Do a clinical exam by your treating Doctor [Neurologist]and to confirm it do MRI scan. 2) Discuss with your treating Doctor about [Cortisone injections]to reduce inflammations and pain. 3) Apply heat and ice regularly and do physiotherapy for 2 months. Do take few preventive steps like this- 1) Do exercise. Strengthening the trunk muscles helps stabilize and support the spine. 2) Try to maintain good posture. Good posture reduces the pressure on your spine and disks. Keep your back straight and aligned, particularly when sitting for long periods. Lift heavy objects properly, making your legs not your back. 3) Try to maintain a healthy weight. Excess weight puts more pressure on the spine and disks. Hope that helps.
