Annular tear is a minor problem of spine which gets corrected with conservative management. You won’t get permanently disabled because of nerve damage. As I have mentioned, you can take help of physiotherapy and TENS. Physiotherapy is to avoid any disuse atrophy of muscles and TENS is nerve stimulator, which will help in regaining the growth of nerve. Nerves outside spinal cord usually grow at the rate of 1 millimeter/day. Hence it will take approximately 12-24 weeks to gain whole strength back.
Hope this helps.
Bye.
