Yes it is a very : Common medication option. It can be used in combination with a non steroidal antinflammatory medication as well if no contraindications. The good news is that 90% of disc herniations get better without surgery.

It can help for sure: Not sure how much. Consider some ibuprofen with that Tylenol (acetaminophen). If not helping enough speak with your doctor about other options.
