Brief Answer:
Progressive slip disc
Detailed Answer:
Hi there.
Thanks for the query
You must do Physiotherapy for atleast 6 months. Avoid bending forwards or lifting weights. Apply hot packs to the affected region. Take pain killers.
If this does not subside then. Get an MRI Scan of Spine to find out how much compression of nerve roots are there and the need for surgery. Could be that your slip down has progressed
I hope I have answered your query.
I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
