If your pain is not going down the leg then the disc prolapse is probably minimal and not compressing on the nerves significantly. Get your vitamin d levels done fasting-it may be low. Also learn spinal extension exercises from a physiotherapist and do those 20 mins 3 times a day. Some pain killers will help in the interim period.
