Can Surgery Rectify Diffused Disc Bulge At LV5-SVI?

I am suffering from Diffuse Disc Bulge at LV5- SVI causing narrowing of the neural foramina & compression of the nerve roots. This is the conclusion of my MRI report. I have been advised surgery by the doctor with recovery of fifty/fifty chances. Your expert advice in this regard will be much hailed by me.

dear friend
surgery is more likely to help if there are root compression and narrowing of neural foramina.
fifty fifty is a conservative estimate chances usually are good
in hands of an experienced spinal surgeon chances on an average are excellent,
but like any surgery or for that fact any thing in medicine we cannot give guarantee
I find this answer helpful
