A member asked:
I am suffering from l5-s1 disc degeneration for past 6 years.what is the permanent , safe and side effect free cure for this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There is none: More information is needed about the condition before a determination can be made, such as a review of any medical imaging. All treatments carry some "side effects, " although, in many cases, the "side effects" can be very minimal.
