Suggest Treatment For L4/5 Disc Bulge
Hello, Your GP has guided you right, medication and Physiotherapy will help you reduce pain and regain strength. avoid massage as it will make muscle weaker. In my clinical practice of 12 years, cases with disc prolapse or bulge have responded well with medicine and exercise. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
