What is best for a moderate pain herniated disk, rest or activity? i waited a week before resuming running/incline walking and the pain is now worse.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need to rest : Herniated disc syndrome can be very painful. Rest, MRI and maybe lumbar epidural could be the next treatment options for you .
