Since u have severe pain from one month only, u can go for conservative treatment. MRI showing disc is not an indication for surgery. MRI only supports your diagnosis. Moreover, clinical assessment is very important. Most of the disc with first episode resolve with time.
Next Steps
Continue with the present management and take rest
Health Tips
Avoid lifting heavy weights and forward bending
