Herniated disc: This large herniated intervertebral disc may well need surgery especially if there is any sign that it is causing muscle weakness in addition to persistent leg pain. I recommend consulting a neurosurgeon, preferably at a university hospital, for evaluation and advice concerning treatment options

May be : One treats the patient and not the MRI You should be seen and examine and even undergo nerve test (EMG) prior to a decision of this type But the MRI changes are significant
