I have l4-l5 disc herniation and severe sciatica. 7 months with no relief. i do exercises, taking supplements...will it ever heal without surgery?

Yes, it may!: Yes – unless it's a nerve root compression or loss of strength in the leg. If no root compression and normal strength, recovery is possible. 1. Stop all exercises for 2-3 weeks. 2. Stop all caffeine use. 3. Lidocaine base (not hydrochloride!) cream phonophoresis (10% x30 min x10 times; do not wash the cream off after the treatment, cover with a thin plastic for 24 hours ("occlusive dressing").
