Herniated disc

Question

Herniated disc

Asked for Male, 32 Years

I have a possible herniation in my lumbar region according to my doctor. Though I haven't got my MRI done. Internet is full of horror stories regarding slipped discs. I had a few basic queries. 1. Can herniated discs heal on their own with time? I am stretching and walking daily as suggested. 2. What is the ideal timeline for pain to go away. I have seen periods of no pain at all and days with dull pain radiating till my calf muscles. 3. How can someone stay fit considering my doctor has ruled out running, gym and yoga?
