MRI Results Shows Severe Protrusion Of L4 & L5 With Nerve Compression
I received my MRI results today which showed severe protrusion of L4 and L5 with nerve compression and tears in the nerve roots in this area. What type of surgery will be done to correct this? I had a previous surgery in 06 to remove a fractured bone fragment from my ciatic nerve and have had pain since that time.
