Degeneration of disc will continue even after surgery as surgery don't corrects pathophysiology of disease. I would like to suggest conservative measures like physiotherapy, avoiding lifting heavy weight, bending forward, using lumbar corset. Take analgesic Sos and tab pregabalin if severe neuropathic pain.
