L3 L4 Discectomy
I had pain in my thigh so the neurosurgeon after seeing my MRI reports of LS Spine, is recommending to plan for L3 L4 discectomy and L4 L5 Discectomy and stabilization. I'm attaching the MRI reports here, please let me know if surgery is necessary or can go for other non surgical treatment. Thank you.
