Hey..George.. Many of us have found..a specialist often will NOT encourage surgery... they want to drag you thru month of physical therapy etc... that can not cure the disc.. help you cope with it.. good to have MRI and know what it is for sure.. Many things are better if fixed right away... cause waiting you can end up with some pretty serious nerve damage.. and I can tellyou it feels horrible...and that don't heal or go away..you have to live with it...
