I have a slipped disc at L4L5 causing pain in my right leg and want to explore non-surgical treatments. Can you suggest medicine options that don't involve antibiotics? I'm really worried about surgery and hoping for alternatives.

For non-surgical management of a slipped disc at L4-L5 causing right leg pain, consider over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or naproxen, and potentially prescription pain medications like tramadol or corticosteroids under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Heat or ice therapy, along with physical therapy and alternative therapies like acupuncture or massage, can also help with pain management and muscle relaxation.

I'm really struggling with sitting on a chair for more than 8 hours a day. It's causing me some heavy lower and upper back pain, and on top of that, I'm experiencing shortness of breath pretty frequently. I've spoken to a few doctors, and they've suggested B12 for the back pain and some gastric tablets for the breathing issues, but I still haven't seen much improvement. I'm getting a bit worried. Do you have any advice on what else I could try or what might be going on?
continue b12 and tablet zerodol for 5 days,twice a day
