Herniated disc at L5-S1
I am having back pain from 3 months , I have consulted a doctor who has given medications for 1.5 months , after that he has prescribed for MRI , in the report herniated disc is being seen at L5-S1, due to which I am feeling pain in the upper side of right leg , doctor has asked for microdisectomy surgery , I have changed the doctor and he has prescribed medications for 20 days ( Tramadol,defza12,pregalin) , after taking medicine for 4 days I am feeling better , now I want suggestions regarding what to do next ? Will the medicine cure the problem? Or do I need surgery for cure ? Should I go for physiotherapy or not? Which kind of specialist should I go to , is it orthopaedic or neurologist or pain management department? Should I go to a surgeon or a medicine doctor for the cure of my problem? kindly guide me through the right path.Thank you in advance.
