Nerve compression and resulting weakness
After an injury in 2011, my right side of lower back feels numb and stiff. I dont feel power there. Due to that, my neck and right hand also feels weaker and numb. Since its more than 6 years, i m very worried. I m taking Pregaba m 75 and Calcirol. In MRI, right exiting S1 nerves are compressed. compression is also there at L4-L5 (right side). Bones have becum weaker and L4-L5 intetarticulsries are fractured. 1. Can i get recovered??? I m only 24. I dont want surgery. 2. Even if surgery is required , how risky it is??? Can i be back to my normal life-style (sports, sitting, running etc.) 3. Can this result in paralysis if i dont undergo a surgery?? Kindly suggest the required course of action. I m very depressed due to this.
