Do abdominal muscle strengthening exercises and ride as much as possible.  
the more you ride, the stronger your abs and your back muscles become, the 
better you'll feel.  My husband had herniated discs some 35 years ago but 
would not have surgery.  He toughed it out and now has had no disc problems 
for probably 15 years, maybe even 20.
