Answer
Hi Hope,
Thanks so much for your question.

I understand you not wanting to have surgery but for a herniated disc, it may be your best option. Especially, if the pain gets worse.

The good news is that there is a minimally invasive procedure called endoscopic disectomy. You can read more about this and other treatments at -

I hope this helps and if you have any more questions, please feel free to ask me anytime.

Thanks again,
