Can Anti-inflammatory Painkillers Treat A Bulging, Herniated Disc?
My husband is a 26 year old male who has a bulging ,herniated disc in his lower back. The doctor prescribed him anti-inflammatory pain killers, but his left leg is now numb, swollen, and has become increasingly painful this past week. He is confined to the bed and cannot walk at all.

Hello,
I had gone through the case and found that only painkiller will not be effective.
Go for physiotherapy and Also take meganeuron od plus for numbness.
If pain is increasing then consult to neurosurgeon.
Hope my answer will be effective for you.
Thanks
