L5 nerve root being compressed

Question

Asked for Male, 35 Years

Can you review my MRI results and suggest my next steps? Right leg weakness, numbness in right foot, pain in right butt and knee. Plus severe lower back pain. I am 35 year old male. Had first MRI done 2 years back with minor disc bulges. Went through physical therapy and but did not recover fully but pain was managable. From last couple of months pain had increased and got my second MRI don which says that I have L5 nerve root compression and doctors suggested surgery. I need second opinion.
