Hi Terence. Sorry to hear that you’re suffering from chronic back pain. There are different treatment options catered for different severities of prolapsed intervertebral discs (slipped/bulging disc). You can consider anti-inflammatory pain medication and physiotherapy for a start. If your pain still persists you should consider visiting your GP or Orthopaedic Surgeon for a consultation.
