Also i am a Network administrator and i have to sit almost 6 hours in a day, is this is a cause of my back problem?Khan AKJAge 32 Yeras [/INST] Hi Mr Khan, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your symptoms and MRI findings. The initial treatment of disc herniation is with medications and physiotherapy. The usual medications required are pregabalin or gabapentin capsules. Physiotherapy includes back extension exercises, and IT/ultrasound for pain relief. If the leg pain is severe and not responding to the above measures, then, epidural injections may be given. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/ </s>
