I've had lower back issues for 12 years, and my recent MRI showed a protruded disc and severe disc bulge from L2 to S1 affecting four discs. Doctors advised against surgery and recommended managing it with physiotherapy. Will I have to keep suffering like this, or are there any nonsurgical treatments that can permanently fix my lower back problem? I've already spent around 80,000 on physio, ayurveda, yoga, marma therapy, and painkillers with no lasting relief.

Long-standing disc bulge needs targeted rehab; surgical options like microdiscectomy can be explored if symptoms persist.

View allI've been dealing with this mild pain in my lower body, particularly in my glutes and legs, ever since I had ozone therapy for my L4 L5s1 about three weeks ago. Is this sensation normal? The doctor mentioned it might take up to three months to feel back to normal, but I'm wondering if it's okay for me to go back to my IT job now, which involves a lot of sitting, or should I rest a bit longer? Also, is ozone therapy supposed to be a permanent solution? Just trying to understand what to expect.
yes it is normal, if you are having severe pain you can refer to your respective doctor
