hi,
The MRI report tells that S1 nerve root is getting compressed significantly by bulging disc.
If you are having radiating pain in left leg with/out sensory loss in left foot , it means you requires surgical intervention (discectomy).
I am doing discectomy with foraminoytomy technique, by which incision is very small & pt can walk next dat onward.
Cantact me for further detail at drsssoni@gmail.com
