Hi thanks for your query and welcome to lybrate. I am Dr. Akshay from fortis hospital, new delhi. I have gone through your mri report and there are two disc protrusions at l4/5 and at l5/s1 region. To correlate this we need to know in detail your symptoms like - duration of your back pain and leg pain( if there) - are there any neurological symptoms like numbness, weakness in legs, paresthesias ( electrical shock like sensations ) present in legs? - how much distance can you walk and does walking increase your symptoms? please answer extensively to my questions and I should be able to help you. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance. Thanks & regards Dr. Akshay kumar saxena Consultant orthopaedics fortis hospital, new delhi.
