Slipped Disk / Numbness on Left Leg

2017-12-15 12:58:40
Hi, I felt sudden pain on my lower back, all the way down to my left leg last week. The pain is gone now, but experiencing numbness on my left leg. I’ve done a MRI on my lumbar spine, the doctor is suggesting a surgery as the result is showing slipped disk. Could i get a second opinion on this? Thanks.
