Suggest Treatment For Bulging Disc T-2 & 3,L-4/5 And S-1

Hello i have 5 buldging disc, T-2 &3, L-4/5 andS-1. Injury happended 6 months ago . I had facet blocks done in April and did not proceed with the ablassian due to the pain did not stop the same day of the procedure. My pain did not go away until the following day. I was pain free for 3 weeks and now my pain is back and increased. My doctor is saying there is nothing else to be done other than teaching me how to cope withthe pain. I was wondering if there is any other no medication methods to relieve pain.

Hi,Welcome to healthcare magic.After going through your query I think your You are suffering from lumbar disc prolapse.There are two treatment options.
First option is Rest in position of relief(generally lateral position with both knee bend),NUROKIND GOLD ONCE DAILY and analgesics (Diclofenac three times a day after meals is effective). Sometimes strong analgesic(such as ultracet three times a day after meals) is required. OMEPRAZOLE 20 MG before meals prevent acidity caused by analgesics . This method needs patience as it take longer treatment times sometimes up to 6 months.Second option is go for surgical operation(Discectomy), but as bulge is at multiple level so this method is not suitable. I think your query answered.Welcome to any follow up query.
