Hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of you.

A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised.

I read your history and found that the pain due to herniated disc is not reduced even after the hydrocodone.

I will advise you to get the thorough neuromuscular assessment done with the ortho first. Second, he may recommend you for a fresh MRI if you dont have one. Later, He will recommend you to for physical therapy. This is non invasive and effective in herniated disc. A lot of research articles will be there on net to find one. By use of Therapeutic ultrasound therapy, TENS therapy the inflammation and pain will be controlled. Also, on later stages you will be taught exercises which will help regain the strength in the muscles, by which the inter vertebral disc spaces will be regained and the pinch from the nerve will be down. Also, to understand, that physical therapy will help you to regain the maximum benefit on the longer runs, if you continue the exercises in future.

In my personal practice, we design a protocol not less than 12 weeks , keeping the assessment in mind. And we are able to get 100% success in cases. Also, regular exercises is advised to our patients and till date we have only to joy.
