Slip disc

2023-11-29 14:51:33
L5 S1 disc degeneration, hernation with sequestration. After seeing the MRI, the doc gave me steroid injection & told to wait & observe the result. I am limping now with numbness in left foot from exterior side & sole. My doubt is, the disc is already quite out & pressing on the nerves. From the picture I could make out that it's already 80% out & pushing on nerves. Should I wait or request for surgery?? Many thanks
