I have pain radiating down my right butt/leg which an mri confirmed as a herniated disc in the l5-s1 region. generally, do people recover from this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not generally: There is some success with pt, epidural steroids @ nsaids.A lot depends on family history and size of and lactation of the herniated disk.
