So, I have a buldging disk between L5 and S1 that is causing sciatica pain like no other. I’ve seen the chiropractor, been to acupuncture, had myotheropy and have dabbled in CBD and nothing is working. If there is someone on here that wouldn’t mind looking at my MRI, I’d greatly appreciate it.

I’ve seen a neurosurgeon and he has recommended surgery, which I have set it up. I’m going to get a second opinion, but am obviously pretty nervous. He says I can wait it out, but it’s not something that just goes away. Some days are ok, most are bad, but today was awful.

This is a typical day surgery called a microdiskectomy where they shave off bone and remove the buldging disk.

Also, anyone been through this?

TLDR - my back and left leg frucking hurt and I’ve considered cutting it off myself.
