Disc desiccation and diffuse disc bulge
I have had backache for few months after my delivery. Just to avoid any issue I got my MRI LS Spine done. The report suggests- Disc desiccation and diffuse disc bulge with end plate irregularity at L4-5 level with central extrusion causing thecal sac, bilateral (R>L) exiting nerve roots and lateral recesses. What should be next step ? Surgery or physiotherapy ? Is endoscopy discectomy preferred or microdiscectomy ? Please advise with preferred surgeon(if surgery is the only option)
