Atlevel L4-L5 there is a broad-based posterior disc bulge with right foraminal disc protrusion measuring 8x8x13 mm.Moderate right sided neuroforaminal narrowing with touching of the existing right L4 nerve root. Moderate left-sided neural foraminal narrowing also noted. Narrowing of the right lateral recess with posterior displacement of the descending right L5 nerve.I have pain in my right leg when I walk or stand too long; especially miserable at night when I lift my leg or try to sleep on my side. My foot and ankle feel like pins and needles are attacking me.Does this sound as if I will need surgery?
