No: Thr surgery is effective for arm or leg pain only if you have no pain or weakness you can only lose comfort with a back induction i'm puzzled why did you get a MRI for no symptoms if it's was for back pain then the MRI funding is spurious and should be considered not a symptom causer we should be getting studies without symptoms unless it is a screening test for early a symptomatic disease.
