Accepted Answer

The diffuse annular bulging at L5S1 causing minimal thecal sac compression can be managed conservatively initially. You can take over-the-counter pain relievers like Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen for pain management. Additionally, physical therapy and exercises focusing on strengthening the core muscles can help alleviate symptoms. In some cases, muscle relaxants like Cyclobenzaprine may be prescribed to help with muscle spasms. If the pain persists, your doctor may consider prescribing stronger medications like Tramadol. Remember to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
