Any good advice fore discogenic pain at L4-L5?

I have ddd at L4-L5 and get referred pain into my right SI...no radiating pain along the hanstrings...I have done PT and do daily rehab. It helps some but would like to consider other alternatives.

See a doctor if you can, go to an emergency room and wait your turn and wait for an x-ray. It may get to be so bad you will have to apply for social security income because you have trouble working consistently. In that case find get medical evidence like when you saw a doctor (keep the papers your doctor gives you after seeing you) and go to your local ss administration office with your medical evidence and take a number and wait to tell your story to one of them. They have you see another doctor but hopefully after a month or three you will get the income you need. But besides there here are other options:

Marijuana (which despite what many think, is legal in the U.S. as long as you are using it for medical reasons). The effects depend on the strain, some will make you hallucinate a little or maybe a lot but those strains are rare and hard to get I think, others make you high or calm or numb your body or a mixture of those things.

If you can afford it or think you need the, get better: shoes, insoles, pillows (the typical puffy kind are bad for your neck), seats (without a hole or depression on the seat for your tail bone you are asking for pain and if the back is not conforming to your spine, that isn't gonna help either) and a better bed (a sagging bed can be killer on your back).

Electro-therapy and infrared heating devices can also be a big help for nerve and muscle pain and is cheaper then trying to get marijuana all the time unless you just happen to be somewhere where you can legally grow it and have a lot of money to grow and storage it.
