I'm a bay area police officer suffering from a l5/s1 ruptured disc. i'm 39 yrs old. pain is growing unbearable. what are treatment options?

MEDROL, (methylprednisolone) analgesics..: First, have you tried a Medrol (methylprednisolone) (steroid pack) which can relieve the 'nerve inflammation'. You may need a steroid injection, later. Analgesics and muscle relaxers can help. Sometimes a chiropractor who does traction may ease the disc back 'into place'. Most 'bulging discs' resolve without surgery so hang in there!
