With long history of disc herniation for 16 years with equally long relapse from pain is not very common. Looks like this is a fresh episode which more severe prolapse,blocking neural canal in single MRI plate you have shared. It will be wise to consult Orthopaedic spine surgeon with MRI to get full clinical as well as Radiological evaluation of the issue, so that best possible modalities of treatment can be offered to you.
