My wife of age 42 has undergone a severe back pain at lumbar side. The pain is in between L4-L5. The MRI shows that there is a stenosis in L4-L5. She is advised to do surgery, but we are not willing to do surgery. She is exercising every day regularly for the same. The pain is in right leg to sciatica nerve. Tell me that it should be operated or not to operate? Or whether it will be relaxed by regular exercise?

Prescription- do hamstring (thigh), calf stretching for sciatic pain. For back pain put hot water bottel on affected area of back. Take towel roll and put it under the back curve, then push the towel roll and hold it 10 seconds. Do this cycle 15 times twice a day. Avoid long sitting, and right side lying. Go to your near physiotherapy clinic for lumbar traction.
