Hello, Regarding conservative treatment for the prolapsed disc, these are a few things you should follow.1. Avoid bending forward and weight lifting.2. Sleep on the hard bed and always sit straight with back support.3. Use a lumbosacral belt in the daytime.4. Give hot fomentation on the affected part.5. Apply diclofenac gel and give massage to the part.6. Do spinal extension exercises as tolerable.7. Take gabapentin and nortriptyline.8. Take any good muscle relaxant. Try these all for 1 month and still your pain is not relieved then there is no option other than surgery. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
