Lower back pain
My recent MRI scan report stated
"Disc bulge at L5-S1 level with focal annular tear and central extrusion causing compression on traversing nerve root on left side"(picture attached)
I was suggested for a surgery by a Neuro Surgeon". But I'm afraid.
Is there any alternate way to cure this? Suggestions needed.
