Disc prolapse symptoms may resolve with adequate bed rest and avoid stress on the spine for 2 months. Use analgesics and tab chymoral forte, muscle relaxants. Try this before opting for surgery. Epidural injection may also works well.
Discectomy is sufficient, if at all surgery is needed.
Next Steps
Use memory foam mattress, avoid bending forwards, lifting weights. Use lumbar belt while walking. Use medication.
Health Tips
Keep follow up , consulting orthopaedic surgeon to review the progress with conservative management.
