BACK PAIN

Came across a massive roof fall accident in underground coalmines in 1977 at the age of 24 yrs.  & instantly  developed  PID in L5-S1 region. Traction treatment for long 04 months followed by continuous  use of LUMBER support belt resolved the problem till january'2010 ( long 33 yrs)  Since Feb'2010, typical neurological problem developed and does not permit the body to keep in standing posture for exceeding 10 minutes duration in one spell, due to gradual paralytic effect generating from feet region & move upto waste level...  Recent MRI done on L.S spine at 1.50 Tesla magnet scale gives the following observations..  a) L3-L4 disc shows mild diffuse bulge indenting thecal sac  b) L4-L5 disc shows diffuse bulge causing mild thecal sac compression & compromising left neural foramina.  c) L5-S1 disc shows mild diffuse bulge indenting thecal sac................... Your medical advice to get rid off the problem shall be highly acknowledged & solicited

I agree with Jaded.  It does sound like a bulging disc and we are not doctors here but I also would suggest a neurosurgeon and then possibly a pain management doctor.  Good luck and hope you start to feel better.

I'm not a doctor, but it sounds like you have bulging discs causing impingement on the nerves.  
I would recommend seeing a Neuro-surgeon or Orthopeadic specialist who can suggest possible treatments or surgeries.
