I have the problem of PIVD-L4-L5 (L), which is detected 1 month back. Neuro surgeon advised surgery due to severity of clinical symptoms which is shown in MRI. As per advice of neuro surgeon I agreed to go for surgery and after PA-check up when I go to take date of operation, Surgeon had advised to wait for 6 month. My case in symptomatic, it is not severe but as per report it is severe. What should I do- (1) go for operation (2) try some others therapy like Naturopathy, homeopathy, yoga etc. (3) follow instruction of surgeon and wait for further status. (4) or others options which I couldn't mention. I am working in an environment where I have to be physically active and I can not avoid it. Please give me a suitable advice and method to treat my disease/problem.

Criteria for surgery- Daily activity of life like - brushing, kitchen activity, toilet activity, urination control, motion control etc is getting affected and other treatment like physio and ergonomic changes are not helping. Hope you have tried neuromuscular relaxation medication as well. Always remember if above mentioned criteria is positive then opt for surgery.
