See details: I have never heard of the term disc gape. If the pain is that severe and conservative therapy (meds, physical therapy, injections) have not helped, then consider a surgical opinion if your doctor thinks it is warranted.

Depends: How long has the pain been present? Is there leg weakness or just pain?
