Q: intense spine pain treatment

Hi,
I'M 21 YEARS OLD.
I've been suffering from intense pain in my spine with severe headache, and the pain radiating to arms and legs.
My MRI reports shows that there is a "diffuse disc protrusion at the level L4-L5 causing pressure over the anterior thecal sac with bilateral foraminal narrowing".
and "there is a straightening with mild reversal of cervical curve which could be due to muscle spasm"
WHAT IS THE PERMANENT TREATMENT???

Hello CandyLover,

None of us spineys are in a position to answer your question. That is a question that only spinal specialists (spinal surgeon) can provide.

May I suggest that you seek out the very best spinal surgeon that you can find in your area. Make an appointment to see the two doctors at the top of your list for it is always a good idea to get two or more opinions.

Please to not delay so that permanent damage does not occur.
