Overview
lumbar Disc prolapse is common among people. The patient named Abdul Rasheed, aged 57 years was apparently normal until the onset of low back pain, which developed 4 months ago and progressively worsened over time. The pain initially remained localized to the lumbar region and later started radiating to the right lower limb along the lateral aspect, extending below the knee. The patient complained of associated numbness and weakness in the right foot, resulting in a big toe drop, causing difficulty in walking and maintaining balance.
