How can my back pain, numbness, and leg pain be effectively managed?

Hello,

I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.

I understand your concern.

I have reviewed your MRI report (attachment removed to protect the patient’s identity), which indicates a mild disc bulge at two levels: L4-5 and L5-S1. Now, let us discuss your symptoms. You are experiencing back pain while working in the IT (information technology) industry. I assume that you have limited physical activity on a daily basis. In cases like yours, where there is not much physical activity, the most common cause of back pain is muscle weakness resulting from insufficient physical activity. Another symptom you are facing is numbness in your left leg, likely due to nerve compression. Even though the MRI shows a mild disc bulge, even small bulges can lead to significant symptoms. Could you please provide information about the specific medications you have taken? How much physical activity do you engage in daily? Do you have any difficulties when walking long distances? Have you undergone any physiotherapy sessions?

Looking forward to your response in order to help you.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Okay, so you can take the first medicine, that is, Etoshine (Etoricoxib) , for a month or so if you feel the pain is severe. In addition to that, you need to do two things:

1. Walk for 45 minutes continuously every day.
2. Consult a physiotherapist to learn core-strengthening exercises and receive tips on maintaining good posture. Good posture is essential for you.

I hope this has helped you.

Thank you.
