A slipped disc or a trapped nerve can cause severe back pain, sciatica and leg weakness. Most people get better without surgery. When surgery is needed, it takes the pressure off the nerve so you can walk and work again.
Discs sit between the bones of the spine. A disc can bulge or slip and press on a nerve, and the spinal canal can narrow with age (spinal stenosis).
This causes pain that spreads into the leg or arm, with numbness and weakness. Injuries from falls or road accidents can also need surgery. An MRI shows where the nerve is trapped.
These can be signs of serious pressure on the nerves. Go to Bajwa Hospital Emergency or call Rescue 1122.

This is very rare. The surgery is planned to free and protect the nerve.
No. Most get better with medicines, rest and physiotherapy.
At first, pray sitting on a chair. Normal prayer is usually possible after a few weeks, as your doctor advises.
