l5-s1 there is a diffuse disc bulgjng central/left paracentral disc herniation compressing the descending left s-1 nerve root.
I received a lumbar discectomy on october 2012 and a cervical neck fusion on june 2012..and my symptons and pain remain the same! I really do not want another surgery..we have tried injections. Medications and theraphy but nothing works. Also the synovial cyst was not

There are joints between vertebral bodies to facilitate the smooth movements.
The synovial cysts are formed in these joints and act as pressure causing points around the spinal canal.
weather in your case surgery is mandatory or can be avoided ? you need to consult your doctor- preferably neurosurgeon
