Medication, epidural: You can try a variety of medications such as oral steroids, non steroidal anti inflammatories, elavil, nuerontin/lyrica or Cymbalta (duloxetine) depending on allergies or medical issues. Epidural steroid injections & other pain management techniques are an option. Time is biggest healer as 90% resolve. Regular exercise, not smoking & weight control play a role with physical therapy an option as well
