Pinched nerve: The red in the picture is disc material and a protrusion into the foramen pushes on the nerve which is grey in the picture. The diagnosis can be supported by physical exam and nerve conduction tests (EMG). Physical therapy with possible traction or inversion table may help. Try to avoid surgery. I do exercises and hang on a noodle in the pool. Anti inflammatories might also help.
