If your new MRI shows disc bulge with nerve compression then surgery may help.
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started along with methadone. Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and TENS therapy will help
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level. You can find doctor in your locality in our website.
