Surgery isn't usually considered unless you develop severe pain or nerve damage that gets steadily worse.
Prior to any surgery, there are some basic actions you could perform right away that will help reduce pain, manage symptoms, and provide you with some comfort.
You should avoid sitting for long periods of time, consider taking breaks every 15 to 20 minutes, and pay close attention to your posture. We suggest that while sitting you should:
- Keep your feet flat on the floor
- Adjust your seat so your knees and hips are at 90 degrees, and
- Hold your head directly above your pelvis
