Only backache or leg pain also. Initial treatment for slip disc (mri proven) is with absolute bed rest and some medical management like pain killers and anti inflammatory drugs along with physiotherapy. The trial is for 6 weeks. Do consult a local neurosurgeon for optimum guidance.

You have to do an MRI of the Lumbo-sacral spine and send me the report. Also do an x-ray of Lumbo-sacral spine AP and lateral in flexion and extension. Send me the images if possible.
