<s>[INST] Hi, I have injured my L4-L5 and L5-S1. The MRI talks about an annular tear and theosac leak. There is no nerve compression. They say the injury was caught on early and I can expect a full recovery.I have the following questions;1) is a slipped disc injury fully curable?2) is the gel like fluid fully reabsorbed back? If yes, then what are the requirements?3) I am a ballroom dancer, what are the precautions I need to take?) can the gel like fluid get absorbed [/INST] Hi, thanks for writing to Chat Doctor.* Disc protrusions may regress over a period of time if they are not subjected to additional bending stresses. * There is a possibility of absorption of the disc material with time. The requirements are to avoid lifting weights and excessive forward bending. Physiotherapy is needed to strengthen the muscles.* Precautions are same as above along with the use of a Lumbosacral corset or support. Hope this information is helpful. Good day </s>
