I met wid an accident later on m getting pain in my left leg starting from the gluteus some times gluteus to down to the calf. Taken MRI the report showing that. L4-L5 disc shows that posterior central and left para central disc extrusion producing moderate thecal and lateral recess nerve root compression. L5-S1 disc shows that posterior central and bilateral para central disc protrusion producing mild thecal and bilateral lateral recess nerve root compression. What does it means. What are the steps I have to take to get rid of this. And what are the precautions I have to take or any medication. And is it any risky situation? Thanks in advance.

The pain you are getting is due to compression of nerves at lower back (sciatic nerve) and the pain is sciatica. Regular exercise will help to release compression over the nerve. Exercise includes leg lifting at perpendicular position by lying down. Exercises are given in my health feed. If pain is severe you should take medicine for some days. Consult if you need any help.
