There are 2 things to take care in your case: 1. Inflammatory pain at disc space 2. Prevention of further damage to disc. 4months is too long with no results. It will make your problem chronic. Homeopathy soothes the pain and inflammation within 2-3days. Physiotherapy can be attempted only once pain is not there. Back strength exercises will help prevent further damage from movements. Chronicity may lead to constant sciatica pain which is worse. Please note that painkillers does 2things which proves ineffective measure to treat: 1. weakens the muscle strength and 2.  allows you to move injured part which further damages. Avoid pain killers.
