L4-l5 disc herination
Hi,
I am 33 year old female working in corporate. Had history of l4-l5 disc herination at age of 17 and got relapse 5 months back and again having same symptoms.
When i sit the disc comes out making it difficult to walk for me. Even while sitting can feel the strech of the nerve from lumbar to left side pelvic.
Having been doing extension and rest since 15 days but still same story as soon as i sit for 5 mins.
What to do?

Better to go for fresh MRI and check present status of disc prolapse as it is not responding to rest and medication and also young age
