Dear Big ED, Thanks for filling us in. Now this is going to seem simplistic but I am assuming you are a big framed man? If this one herniated disc is causing most of your pain and I recognize there may be others since you are having pain on both legs but lets say it is the one disc on the right that is causing most of the problems. The immediate thing you could do is relieve the weight of your upper body that is pressing down on this disc in your lower back by using a traction inversion table. I have seen inversion cure people with herniated painful disc problems thereby they were able to decrease their pain medication over time and eventually get off them completely. Have you tried inversion? They can be purchase at most athletic stores. Others here such a hopinso will also offer you good recomendations. Jm
