Be seen: I would recommend you be seen to discuss treatment options, which can include simple things such as medications , rest, physical therapy, chiropractic care; or more involved options such as injection therapy or surgery ( although most do well with some form of nonoperative care).

If it is that severe: consider minimally invasive surgery
