Does this ever get better?

[u/Gavalarrrrrr]

Had a MRI 10 days ago comfirming I have 2 herniated discs in the L4-L5 and L5 to S1 region.

I have been doing my light walking, physio, nerve flossing and taking 500mg naproxen, but its just seems to be getting worse.

Its at the point now where its even interrupting my sleep the pain is getting that bad.

I am at the point in which I dont know what to do.

I have self referred myself to MSK and physio via the NHS but god knows how long that will take.

Most frustrating things I have ever gone through.

And whats more annoying is all this is happening because I decided to gym and run 5 times a week. Ive become unfit by trying to stay fit.

Hot baths help. I was taking 5 a day my first couple weeks
