Hi doctor, Im suffering from herniated disc and sciatica, Ive followed the treatment so it relieves me. but when I stop this treatment, the pain come back. so Id like to ask if is there any solution without drugs, example  walking or swimming ...I dont know.thanks.
Hi, As diagnosed with PIED with radiculopathy it should be managed conservatively with regular physiotherapy (spinal extension exercises), avoiding serious work/exercise bending forward, warm compression with vitamins, analgesic, muscle relaxant (if pain) n PPI under guidance of orthopaedition. If symptoms aggravates, bladder bowel involve, neurological involvement ...... then may require decompression.  So in my opinion be in regular follow up and treatment accordingly including physiotherapy .hope it'll help Thanks n regards
