Thank you Doctor.
She is also diabetic. I am really worried if a surgery would give her a permanent relief.
I have asked her to meet the neurosurgeon and get an opinion, as per your suggestion.
Thank you so much for your reply.
Thanks,

Hi there. The mri says blocking of blocking of l5 s1 lateral recess, and posterolateral protrusion of d5 d6and d6 d7 disc apart from disc bulging and spondylosis. These can be tried to ease by physical therapy, NSAIDs and epidural steroids are other options. Surgical decompression can be considered once these options fail and prove ineffective. Consult your neurologist who will give you the correct opinion as per the clinical presentation and neurological deficit. Take care
