A member asked:
Large disc extrusion at l5 compressing l5,s1&s2 n/roots. got to decide on surgery or injections, would like opinions.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Surgery, most likely: It seems this is a very impressive disc herniation (extrusion). If you have symptoms you may not have any options as you don't want any nerve damage.
