Spine Surgeon,  's  Response
Sir, the results for disc herniation with or without surgery are the same at the end of may be 2-4 years. The question you need to answer for yourself is are you ready to suffer the pain until then. Discectomy is a very simple surgery in the hands of a right surgeon. At L5S1 level, the incidence of complications is also very low. If you choose the right surgeon there is a 99% chance that your pain will be relieved completely the very next day.
