You will need an uptodate scan to look at the present appearance of the disc and any nerve root compression. Once the scan is done then further treatment can be planned. Your symptoms suggest that you have nerve root compression secondary to recurrent disc prolapse. In the meantime try painkillers, ice packs on back and stay mobile.
