Slip disc
L5 S1 disc degeneration, hernation with sequestration.
After seeing the MRI, the doc gave me steroid injection & told to wait & observe the result.
I am limping now with numbness in left foot from exterior side & sole.
My doubt is, the disc is already quite out & pressing on the nerves. From the picture I could make out that it's already 80% out & pushing on nerves. Should I wait or request for surgery??
Many thanks
