Based on your symptoms, a left-sided slip disc (lumbar disc herniation) is usually managed without surgery in most patients.
Treatment includes:
• Short period of rest (avoid prolonged bed rest)
• Pain relief medicines and muscle relaxants as prescribed
• Physiotherapy (core strengthening, McKenzie exercises)
• Hot fomentation
• Avoid bending forward, heavy lifting, and sudden twisting
Most patients improve within 4–6 weeks with conservative treatment.
Next Steps
• Consult an orthopedic doctor or neurosurgeon
• Get an MRI lumbosacral spine if pain is severe or radiating to the leg
• Start supervised physiotherapy
• Follow up regularly
Health Tips
• Maintain correct posture while sitting and sleeping
• Do not lift weights or do gym exercises without guidance
• Urgent medical attention is needed if you develop:
• Weakness in leg
• Numbness in private parts
• Loss of bladder or bowel control
