I presume you had had an MRI which shows slipped disc. If so your treatment options are conservative treatment s including gentle exercises, physiotherapy and anti Neuropathic medications. If pain persists despite this you could benefit from Epidural injections. Surgical decompression is advised if pain is severe and not responding to conservative treatments mentioned above or you develop limb weakness or symptoms of bowel or bladder involvement.
