Can I Take Tylenol And Ultram For Pain Caused By Disc Herniation?

I have a l4-l5 disc herniation. The pain is progressively getting worse. Most of the time I can't stand up straight, it feels like someone is constantly squeezing hard on my right testicle and I have a burning feeling down my right leg. I have been taking ultram with tylenol. My symptoms are not getting better. What should I do?

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.Your pain is most likely due to nerve compression or irritation caused by Intervertebral disc herniation.Tramadol (ultram) and tylenol is only for pain relieving but wont be effective in most patients.For my patients i recommend NSAIDs like aceclofenac muscle relaxants like thiocolchicoside and neurotropic medications and send for physiotherapy and muscle strengthening exercises.Most of them will get improvement in that.If pain is worsening then a surgical option can be considered.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
