Mri says protusion at l5 s1 left greater than right s1 nerve root but pain is at right hip and leg no pain at left side what treatment is best .

Back pain: You are too young. Just take some over the counter Aleve (naproxen) 500mg 2x a day after food. Do proper back exercises which you can do after watching some free videos in the internet. Be patient and wait. It will take 2-6 weeks for it to heal on its own.
