Dr.advised MRI scan &Xray. Impression of MRI showed  DISC BULGE AT L4/5 LEVEL CAUSING MILD MASS EFFECT OVER THE CALSAC - BILATERAL TRAVERSING NERVE ROOTS.  I am given neuro medicines and getting psyotherapy done everyday.  This happend 15 days back and am slightly better.  Sir, will you please give your valuable opinion ; if I will become okay with the medicine and sir if you can suggest some medicine or should I go in for a surgery ??

Dear madam thanks for the query the present problem you are facing can be treated conservatively and surgery is indicated only if there is intractable pain and any weakness in the limbs...since it is a neuritic pain you take tabXXXX one in the NT if not prescribed by your doctor a physiotherapy will help you a lot...weight loss also will help if you are obese...thank you regards
