They are not surgeons and have a different perspective on the problem. If they recommend physical therapy don't turn away from it because of prior experiences. Talk to some therapists before starting with one of them. You are looking for someone that is going to use a hands on approach not any modalities. There are many techniques to be used in controlling this problem. One of them is going to be you. Since you are with yourself all of the time it becomes incumbent upon you to make sure that the back is maintained in a pelvic neutral position. The therapist will explain this to you. You want to find out if the therapist is only going to work on the back or on everything from the feet on up. You want someone that is going to treat you from the feet on up. The feet are the base upon which the body carries its weight. Muscular balance is another aspect that has to be addressed. Here again that starts from the feet on up. For immediate relief of pain use ice on the area for fifteen to twenty minutes per hour if possible. Being at the gym is admirable but knowing what to do and exactly how to do it is far more important. That would extend into yoga, Pilate's, or any other exercise regime. As for surgery remember that at best the results are fifty percent. You can try osteopathy to see if that will help but make sure it is someone board certified in osteopathic mobilization techniques. The traction works for some people but in my mind it is not the answer for you still have to work on controlling the position of the fluid material of the disc and that is entirely dependent upon you. Talk all of this over with your doctor and see what they might say. Start off seeing a neurologist. They are not surgeons and have a different perspective on the problem.

Opt for the least invasive treatments first: working with a chiropractor and a physical therapist, and perhaps some acupuncture to help with pain and tension. The spine is like a set of dominoes: if one disc is weakened, they will all start to weaken. And surgery sometimes causes more problems than it solves.
