What Is The Treatment For A Painful Annular Tear?

Through my MRI it was discovered that I have a annular tear/fissure posterolaterally on the left side at the L4-5 level which is causing considerable pain. What, if any, is the usual treatment for this? I was operated 4 months ago on a disc herniation at L5-S1.
