Hi parviz, and welcome to the forum. May I ask what kind of dr. you saw?What did he recommend to you? Did he tell you at what level the nerve is impinged and how badly? If not, you need to ask these questions. It's hard to advise you what to do without more information. The symptoms you describe definately go along with having nerve root impingment; the question is how bad is it and what neeRAB to be done next.

Please come back and fill me in with more information and maybe someone will have advise for you.

I have GP, and I went to my dr to show my back pain
He touched my back spine and he said can I walk?
And he wrote to hospital a letter for check my back lurabar and get x-ray
Hospital took the x-ray , and that shows my L 2 and L3 bone has slightly moved to left
My spinal lurabar disc is licking and touching the nerve root
He descript me 86 tablets of DICLOFENAC SODIUM 50 MG
When I take those tablet three times a day, I will be a little better but it does not help me
Still I get pain, same as somebody putting needle in my back
I have difficulty in walking, sitting, moving my body to left or right side, bending; also when I sneeze I get pain in my lower back and legs
Thank you very much for listening to me
And your help
With best regarRAB
 
I don't know how things work in England, but you need to be seen by a spine specialist like a neurosurgeon or orthopedic spine specialist. The MRI is read best by a specialist who sees them all the time. Then it can be determined where the nerve is being pinched and how badly, and what kind of treatment would be best.

Hope this is a bit helpful and I wish you very good luck. I hope you will return and let us know how you are doing.

PS...the medicine you are taking is an anti-inflammatory. A surgeon may prescribe something a bit stronger to help with the pain.
