Hi Sir, MRI revealed I have herniated disc problem in L5. Doctor advised surgery. Tried physiotherapy, yoga and exercises etc. This is more than 5 years old problem - having pain in good, right leg and foot. Unable to walk more than 5 minutes. Is there any other way to treat except spine surgery. I had heart surgery for artery graphing 10 years ago and taking blood pressure medicine.

Hello with the present complaints you have surgery is the best option for you, there are no medications that can cure the condition, medicine and physiotherapy can stop the progression of the disease they cannot cure the condition, and the damage increases with time which is irreversible so my advice is to get operated as soon as possible. Just leave a positive comment if useful.
