Sciatica pain- 2 mnth, disc bulging

2025-11-12 19:17:34
Suffering from sciatica pain due to disc bulging in L5-S1 as per MRI. Dr. Suggested for surgery- microscopic  lumbar discectomy (MLD). However I am kidney transplant patient (operated in 2009) and on immunosuppressant, steroid and other medicines & can not take pain killers now or after surgery. Suggest if there are any other options apart of this surgery, may be non-invasive treatment or other treatment where no medication is required.
