salam. i am irfan 27 years old male. almost 9 weeks ago it was first time when i felt sciatic pain in my left leg through hip. it was bearable at that time.But now im on the bed and had a MRI scan which shows that in have a herniated disc at L5 S1. My doctor commented parenteral herniation. And advised me to have a surgical treatment disactomy. but have listened that there are so much shocking threads. im on bed rest now almost one month i have spent on my bed. but not feeling so well. now schiatic pain is not so chronic until on rest. but after walk of 40 second schiatic pain began to recurrent. please advise me what should i do now either i shold go through the surgary or should take more rest.
If there is herniation the relief will be there for some time if you take rest more but when you walk again there will be swelling causing same better is to go for surgery as nowadays endoscopy surgery is possible with minimum invasion and minimal healing time and more accuracy as I have seen many patients like this complicating further by avoiding surgery in my opinion also surgery is the best option
