Disc bulge in L4 and L5
I have been diagnosed with a disc bulge in L4 and L5 on January 16th. I have consulted a soctor and he recommended physio therapy. I am regular to physio from past 2 weeks but still I am having pain in the back as it has not healed. I took break from work for a week, but last week I am working and its a sitting job. Generally the pain is very bad due to sitting during the day and nights it is painful.
Will I ever be pain free?
