back painMy name is Pradeep Chauhan. Age 23, from Lucknow, India. I have a spondolysis and degenerated disc at l4-s1. Since last year, I have too much pain in my back. Doctor said that it will be okay by doing some exercise but still I don’t get any relief from pain. Please give some suggestion and also tell me what exercises I should do?

SpineYou are only 23, considering that you have experienced these changes fairly early on. Secondly, you say that there is discitis and degeneration spread over the L4 to S1 area, which means that the changes, are there on two sites. This is unusual too. Your condition needs to be investigated thoroughly: an MRI of the LS spine and a haemogram at the basic minimum, plus, since in India we are taught to think of Tuberculosis in the first instance, other tests to rule out the presence of Pott’s spine are required. In the mean time, I would advise you not to bend forwards or lift any heavy weight, and to wear a Goldthwaite Belt. Exercises are best avoided till a conclusive diagnosis is made.
