I have a slipped disc. i am supposed to have an operation. but i dont have the time right now. how can i relieve the pain? my left leg is always sore.

Pain management: Consult a pain management specialist who will decide whether a corticosteroid injection at the disk site would be helpful in relieving your discomfort. Pain management may also include both anti-inflammatory medications and certain pain relievers. It would be worthwhile asking your neurosurgeon if he/she would approve any treatment that is proposed,however.
