Detailed Answer:
Hi there

Thanks for the query

Slip disc severity cannot be seen on xray. Only bones of spine are seen on xray. Please get an MRI lumbosacral spine to know about disc status.

It's best to do physiotherapy, avoid bending forward or lifting heavy objects to reduce chance of progression of disc and surgery.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

Regards,
