Sorry to hear that you have a herniated disc! It sounds very painful for you but it's good that you will be getting physiotherapy in the future.

I've not had a herniated disc, so I can't help much (sorry!) but I've read that gentle exercise can help with the pain. If possible, you might want to visit your GP to see if they can prescribe medication that helps. Alternatively, osteopathy might also help. For more information on symptoms and treating a herniated disc, feel free to check out this (UK based website).

Hope others can provide more advice and that the pain eases for you!
