Please help !! Herniated disc

Hello all,

I am from Bombay, India.

I have been having lower back pain for a while nothing major.

Since last week the pain has gone from minor to major. (After a good one night stand).... :)

The pain has moved from my back to my left foot, there is numbness in the left toe and top of the feet. If i sleep in a specific position the numbness is reduced.

Bladder and Bowl is all fine..(Thank god) I got the MRI done and it says i have a herniated disc L4~L5 or somethin, i have attached the MRI scan for reference.

My doctor tells me i have to go for a surgery, which does not make me happy..

I feel the Herniated disc is effecting the L5 nerve ending.

Please advice what is the best i can do. I dont want to do surgery.

The left leg and left hip pain is bad :( i have trouble walking. But lying down there is no pain.

Thanks in advance.

Waitng for replys.

cheers

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.

The disc displacement brings pressure on the bundle of nerves causing the suffering you have mentioned. Unless the displacement is due to accident etc it is caused by weakness of the sheath of the muscles which keep the discs in place. You have to, therefore, strengthen the muscles which have got torn in the process of yieldingy due to weakness. Rhus Tox does that job. Hypericum take care of pain/numbness due to pressure on nerves.

You, therefore, take Rhus Tox 200C once a week and on other days take Rhus Tox 3C, 2 hourly. Take Hypericum 3C, 2 hourly in between Rhus Tox.

Apply Rhus Tox Pomade and Hypericum Pomade externally, alternately. Pomade is made by mixing Rhus Tox/Hypericum mother tincture in pure vaseline. These are available in homeopathy stores. Otherwise, apply a mixture of 20 drops of mother tincture in 1 ounce of distilled water, soaked in cotton pad.

Strong smelling things,eg. raw onion/garlick, strong tea/coffee/spices, tooth paste, smoke, peppermint in the mouth neutralise the medicine. So take care.

I presume that you have got all the medicines in liquid form.
A teaspoonful of one drop of medicine mixed in 1/2 cup of distilled water will be a dose. Since you cannot keep Rhus Tox 200 mixture for a longer period in cup, you may take a drop in a tablespoonful of water as a dose.
If the relief from a dose does not last for 2 hours, you can increase the frequency.
Sleep on a fairly hard bed. This will keep the disc in normal position and help in heeling of muscles besides taking pressure off the nerve. That is why you get relief on lying down.
