Hi,
Slip disc pain doesnt get relieved easily. You can try out physiotherapy and certain excercises along with that . Physiotherapy helps alot.
You can also consult your doctor regarding options for a surgery and the safety and outcomes of it. Most people go for physiotherapy to decrease the intensity of pain along with pain reliever medications.
Regards,
Dr.Riyanka
