Hi,

Welcome to HealthCareMagic.com I am Dr.J.Mariano Anto Bruno Mascarenhas, and I am here to help you. I have read your question with care and understand your concerns.

Pain is severe in the right side lower back moving through the thigh & left leg means the nerve root is getting compressed by the extruded disc. This condition may be treated with rest, physiotherapy and exercises for some time, but eventually, he will require surgery.

Disc Bulge where Annulus is not torn can be managed by conservative treatment
But
Disc Extrusion, where Nucleus Pulposus is extruded and is pressing on the neural components require surgery sooner or later

Hope you found the answer helpful.

If you need any clarification / have doubts / have additional questions / have follow up questions, then please do not hesitate in asking again. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Best Wishes for Speedy Recovery
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
