Give a trail of conservative therapy like physio and meds for one month If not relieved....then considering your age I would advise to go for minimally invasive disc decompression surgery +/- spinal fusion to completely relieve you of your symptoms
Health Tips
If during course, you develop weakness in either leg, bowel/ bladder disturbances...consult doctor immediately
