I’m 31 and have suffered from lower back pain for 5 years. I always thought it was a muscle, but 6 weeks ago muscle relaxers and pain killers did not help. I had an MRI done and showed a herniated disc in L4-L5. My pain is mainly in my lower back some numbness down my left leg. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

your physician should’ve recieved the results, and he probably asked if you wanted to do the back surgery.

It’s typical for you to get the surgery in this case.
