Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
Neuropathy to disc herniation is curable by two method, medicine and surgery. If pressure on nerve is not much than i would advice you to take methylcoabal tablet daily. It is neurovitamin, Also taking calcium will help. If you mean weakness line foot is not moving than medicine will not help and surgery is main solution, Just want to warn you that delaying surgery for too long can cause incomplete recovery.
