Lumbar Disc Bulge

2020-01-29 09:08:19
I have been recently diagnosed with mild L4-L5 Disc bulge with annular fissure with small posterocentral bulge indenting the thecal sac. I am having mild pain in the calves for both legs. Is this something for which I need to go for surgery or this can heal on its own.
