Herniated slip disc
I was diagnosed of slip disc in May end and since then I am taking medications and doing exercises. Because of slip disc, I was also suffering from sciatica in my right leg. Now pain has improved in back and right leg thighs but in my calf muscles of right leg pain fluctuates ,like sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't. So I am not able to understand whether my slip disc condition is improving or it is same since May .

If we have to objectively assess the stage of disc slippage then we have to do MRI spine. But if your symptoms are better with medications then it is better to wait and watch.

consult a neurosurgeon.
