question: Hi doctor, Other than Bell's palsy, I have a problem of back or neck pain now. In fact, this has been going on for a few months now. More recently, the right of the back (lower back and hip) has been causing a lot of pain. I got an MRI of spine done four weeks ago. I am attaching the report here for your reference. The pain has increased significantly over the last 10 days or so. I visited a physiotherapist two days ago. She did some nerve stimulation in that area and asked me to do some exercises. I am not sure about the nerve stimulation and how safe it is. Also, if the exercises to strengthen the core are good. My GP ordered some x-rays yesterday. I will get the results later today. I am not sure what is causing this pain and what I should do next.
