Dear Sir,
Before 8 months it was detected from my MRI scan that there is an EPIDURAL ENHANCING LESION in my lower back spine. Lesion size is @ 15mm X 20mm.
MRI was taken after three days of bike accident which led to sever pain in the back bone.
Dr. advised me to take MRI again after a few months for checking the status of LESION and to decide about the requirement of surgery.
Still I have bearable pain in my lower back spine.
I am about to take the MRI once again.
Query:
1) Will it be required to go for a surgery to treat this LESION ?
2) If so, is there any non-surgical treatment to cure this?
3) If surgery is the only option, then will it be an endoscopy type or the traditional cut-open type?
Thanks in advance for your kind answers.

it would be better if can send Mri film. epidural lesions if inside canal then only requires surgery. if it is outside canal and pain is bearable then u can continue conservative trial. now a days surgery is done in microscopic or endoscopic. it will be minimally invasive.
