I have a herniated disc and have tried almost everything. The surgery is far from 100% effective from what I'm told. It might fix the herniation but causes other problems.
I've found a few things to be good for me (sounds like it's the same location for me). When I'm in my best shape in general I have the least pain. Strange, I know, but eating right and working out seem to help the most! I've also tried to limit my time sleeping on my stomach and had some success with ART.
