Herniated or Slip Disc
Since last 1.5 year every day I have lower back pain. MRI tells L4 and L5 herniated disc. Doctor told it may pinching nerves as well. Tried allopathy, ayurvedic, phisio etc. Still I have backpain every time. Currently I am getting joint pain, neck pain, body nerve pain along with lower back pain. Don't we have permanent solution for slip disc other than surgery. If I do surgery what are the consequences? Can I become as normal as before like running, playing etc.
Thanks
