Neurosurgeon: A neurosurgeon is best qualified to evaluate the situation after examining you and your MRI images. It appears that a herniated disc is causing nerve damage and it is important to make sure that irreversible nerve damage doesn't occur. It is an important decision as to whether disc surgery or nonsurgical care is indicated at this time.
