Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Methycobal is vitamin B12, which may help if you have deficiency of this vitamin. This may also help in recovery of damaged nerves.
However, in your case of disc prolapse, physiotherapy would be the most useful treatment. This could include back extension exercises, IFT and ultrasound.
You would improve over time.
Best wishes,
