Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Conservative therapy in disc extrusion comprises of steroids, physiotherapy, bed rest, analgesics and muscle relaxants. If all these have been tried for you and the symptoms still continue, then surgical treatment remains the only option. This is the situation where we say that conventional treatment has failed.
The surgery comprises of removing a small part of your disc which is compressing your nerve fibers.
Please discuss this with your treating physician.
Hope this helps.
