Dear Practo user , I believe your husband is having disc herniation of L5-S1 intervertebral disc . As with any condition proper diagnosis of exact problem has to be established, which if already done as disc prolapse then you need to get MRI of Lumbar Spine assessed along with examination. Treatment of Slip disc depends on grade of herniation and compression of neural ( nerve) structure . If it is very small like small bulge then some medication may help , but if it is protrusion , extrusion or any stenosis ( narrowing) of nerve pathway then some intervention may be required best suited for his condition . It’s Important to understand that no medicine can put disc back but only give temporary pain relief , hence it is imperative to grade the herniation and treat disc so that future aggravation doesn’t occur and he can enjoy his work and life .

He has disc problem So try conservative stuff like heat traction pain medication exercise And if it does not work surgery
