You can continue walking and light gym activity, but avoid heavy weightlifting, deep squats, deadlifts, twisting movements, and high-impact exercises. Physiotherapy, heat therapy, and short courses of pain-relieving or nerve-calming medicines can help during flare-ups. Surgery is not required at this stage unless there is worsening leg weakness, numbness, or loss of bladder/bowel control.
