Sciatica: He has symptoms of sciatica which is an irritation/inflammation of the nerve going down the leg. The minor disc bulge may or may not be related but there is absolutely no need for surgery. This will resolve with time. He can use over the counter anti-inflammatory meds (ibuprofen ) for symptomatic relief.

? Peripheral : MRI does not explain the sciatica and may not fully explain back pain. Maybe there is sacroiliac dysfunction or piriformis syndrome? Regardless, get physical therapy
