What does subtle loss of lumbar lordosis mean?
I've had 5 back surgeries 3 major and 1 to instal a stim to stop pain due to continued pain and 1 to remove it they put it at wrong spot never helped,I would try to avoid surgery try Faset Blocks or epidural injections 1st.It seems when they cut you once most times you'll be cut again,i;ve had herniations in L5- SI disc 3 times.And thru other tess it's showing a possible another herniation in same disc alot of times it seems to weaken that disc they work on.Jim
Hi, mere MRI findings are not suggestive for surgery, if you can carry your routine work with ease, if pain is bearable; in that case surgery is not indicated or can be postponed.
The symptoms decide whether to go for surgery or not. If you feel, pain killers along with physiotherapy can keep you fit no need to go form surgery.
