Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
After going through your query I think you are suffering from lumbar disc prolapse.There are two treatment options.First option is Rest in position of relief(generally lateral position with both knee bend),NUROKIND GOLD ONCE DAILY and analgesics (Diclofenac three times a day after meals is effective). Sometimes strong analgesic(such as ultracet three times a day after meals) is required. OMEPRAZOLE before meals prevent acidity caused by analgesics . This method needs patience as it take longer treatment times sometimes up to 6 months.Second option is go for surgical operation(Discectomy) .You are not willing surgery so can choose first option. You can discuss with your treating surgeon.I think your query answered.Welcome to any follow up query
