Can an l5 s1 hernia heal on its own?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Herniated disc?: If you do not have nerve compression resulting in pain or bladder/bowel dysfunction, your body will eventually form scar tissue around the new place the disc rests and the symptoms will improve. This can take 2-3 months.
