I have been suffering from disc herniation (l5 s1) for last 1 month. Have been undergoing physiotherapy. But for last 3 days, I am unable to stand on my left toes. The doctor has put me on medication and has advised for complete bed rest for at least next 6-8 days. If the condition remains same, he might suggest for surgery. Please suggest.
