My slipped disc pain has been worsening over the last two weeks, no pt cuz of pain. should i let my doctor know? what will he reccomend?

Yes : Please let your doctor know. PT, anti inflammatory medicines like naproxen, a brace or collar, and imaging with c Ray may be appropriate. Particularly if pain continues despite medications and PT for at least 4 weeks, imaging is reasonable with X Ray to start. Make sure you don't have fever, bowel or bladder problems, lack of feeling around the perineal area, difficulty walking, numbness on trunk
