lower back & Hip pain

[jimijon4]

my mrI examination report states that I have "Mild degenrate lumbar scoliosis with disc degeneration from L1/2 to L5/S1. Multple level posterior anular disc bulges. No evidence of a significant disc protusion into the spinal canal. There is a right foraminal/extra foriminal disc protusion at L/4."

What does this mean in laymans terms? And what would be the treatment required to sort this out? Preferably non surgical.
Thank you

.The big question is why am i in so much pain? three months after my surgery on my back, which was suppost to make me better; but now i am ten time worse then before. My doctor tells me over and over that i will heal and some people take longer then other. The type of pain that i am having is unreal. The surgery was march the third. I had a large herniated lumbar disc, lumbar stenosis, spondylolethiasis, and a L4 to S1 fusion. Two days after surgery the doctor sent me to a nursing home i was there for thirty days, then april the third thet kick me out ;  the nursing home the doctor that was in the nursing home and some of the nurses said that i was not ready to leave yet; but because of the insurance company, but it really didn't matter, because they only walk me six times the whole time and it i was suppost walk every day. To make matter worse they had me on every pain meds you could think of and then send me home with nothing. And between the doctors and the pharmacy i had no pain meds for two weeks; it was like being under rubble waiting for help and when i did get it did not work. The pain got so bad i had to go back to the hospital for a week and they only pump me with all kinds of drugs, setroids, iv morphine and pill morphine,vicodin,valium,lortab,tramadol,gabapentin. He was just trying to get me out of pain then send me home. Then two days the pain was back i went to see him and he gave me RX of oxy 60mg twice aday on the other stuff but told me to stop the morphine. this last time that i was in the hospital they did a mri and ct.One doctor said everything looks alright then another doctor said that there is a bluge in between L4 and L5 and that may be causing some of this pain and does not know what else can be making this pain that bad. I think he does know but not telling me i am only 43 years old. And i am so afraid that i am going to be like this for ever. what should i do? HELP PLEASE DIANA


I wish i never had surgery talk to your doctor they will try differant things with you first to see if it will help you; and for your sake i hope they do help you, surgery should be the last thing done. And because mine went bad ,that does not mean your will if you have to have surgery becuse i went back in the hospital about three weeks ago and the same doctor that did mine surgery did the same surgery on a 28 years old woman and she almost ready to go back to work , they had us in the same room, but i am sueing because i was done wrong from day one; i already got a lawyer started it on it wish me luck .If more people sue there will be less mistakes you  think.
