Chance Of Recovery


Q:
Age: 17   Sex: M   Concern: Herniated Disk/Sciatica  

hi, i had a question about my lumbar herniated disk. My doctor thinks its a herniated disk. Ive been having symptoms of sciatica for about a year or more but they were not very bad. The pain would come and go. But 3 weeks ago it got bad and it really really hurt. I want to know if its too late for me to get better. Was ignoring the minor sciatic pain i had in the past a bad decision? im very worried i wont recover.
thank you.

Get treatment. You have not done any damage by waiting.
