Dr. Sudeshan Govender answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Nerve compression : Slipped disc and spinal stenosis is probably causing nerve entrapment. Conservative treatment is NSAIDs , neuroleptics and Back exercises. Could consider epidural block for pain management. If ISQ then will require decompression surgery and laminectomy.
