Hi,
You have seen degree of disc herniation. If you do not have muscular atrophy or severe sensory problems, physical therapy is the way to go. Otherwise it is surgery.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Anders Mark Christensen, General Surgeon
