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?
