Hello doctor,
Is the operation of the disc necessary, or can it be done by exercise?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Surgery on disc problems is not a must unless they are compressing the nerve and causing weakness in both legs, and you lose control over urine and passing stools. If it is a mild compression, you can manage it with exercise and meditation. In some cases, you can try the lumbar epidural injection.
