If left untreated,: high likelihood.This needs to be correlated anatomically with your MRI.Then you can discus risks vs benefits of surgical remedy.

Where is disc: Your evaluation needs to show whether this disc is responsible for the weakness. That would be a way to clarify your symptoms. It does not have to be permanent.
