[|AI|]  Dear User, Thanks for using Chat Doctor. For the herniated disc physiotherapy is another option before going for surgery. Talk to a physiotherapist about role of exercises in your case. Medicine as you are taking now is another option. There are other Chat Doctor. Surgery is the last sort of treatment and this is chosen when there is compression over the nearby nerves or danger of such things. Thanks
