Thanks your prompt reply.

Now can you suggest me what types of anti-inflammatory medication are needed that position and physiotherapy as well? and which consultant are needed to take advise such as neurology and orthopedist?

Hi there!

The report mentions disc bulges at lower spine, at levels L3/L4 and L4/L5; that is causing mild narrowing of the spinal canal and the spaces that carry the spinal nerves. Since the narrowing is mild, this might benefit from conservative management with rest, anti-inflammatory medications and physiotherapy. I would suggest consulting your treating doctor for a detailed management plan.
Hope this is helpful.

Take care!
