Hi,

I am 26 year old software engineer. I am also a patient sufferred by low back pain. My Wikipedia reference-linkMRI scan report says that i have problem in L3/L4, L4/L5 and L5/S1. Actual problem is disc degeneration and disc prolapse with compression of bilateral roots and dural tube. This is what report says. L4/L5 and L5/S1 is severly damaged. L3/L4 part has less damage.

My consultant suggesting that i can go surgery, basicaly he is neuro specialist. But when i have consulted othopaedic specialists no one suggesting surgery as it could not be get cured compeletly. But neuro specialist also telling that after fifteen years i could get the same problem again. But i am not in emergency period where i need to go for immediate surgery . Because i dont have any numbness or pain in my leg portion. All that i am getting is pain on low back area. Mainly on left side of my low back(hip). The pain also coming when i am doing some specific works, Like walking continuously for 4 kilometres, Traveling long distance, lifting some weights or while running fast. But all these pain go away if i take some good rest like four or five days. If some body could give me some suggestion on this problem it will be great helpful to me.

Thank you very much.
