I’m 31 and have suffered from lower back pain for 5 years. I always thought it was a muscle, but 6 weeks ago muscle relaxers and pain killers did not help. I had an MRI done and showed a herniated disc in L4-L5. My pain is mainly in my lower back some numbness down my left leg. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
