Hi, are you saying that the disc is pushing on the sciatic nerve?  If that is the case you may need surgery
Not a doctor just a patient
Good luck

It is important that you do not do anything to aggravate your disc problem so if you want to exercise I would stick with stretching, walking, ect and avoid one where you have to do any heavy lifting or bending. Ask your dr next time you go in if he has a list of safe exercises that you can do they should be able to give you a list of exercises that will even help your back. Best wishes, Sissie
