For the past year and a half, I've had constant lower back pain due to an L4-L5 herniated disc. Doctors say it might be pinching nerves too. I've tried everything allopathy, ayurveda, physio but the pain won't go away. Now I'm also dealing with joint pain, neck pain, and nerve pain all over. Is there really no permanent fix for a slipped disc besides surgery? If I go for surgery, will I ever be able to run or play like before?

Deciding the course of action depends upon the severity of symptoms and the findings on MRI scan. Next Steps Need a few more details to advise anything specific.

I'm 26 and I recently had an MRI done that shows I've got diffuse annular bulging at L5S1. It mentions minimal compression of the thecal sac. I'm really concerned and a bit confused about what this all means for me. What should I be doing next? Is this something I need to worry a lot about?

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.
