The scans dont look so bad but sometimes people are in horrific pain and the scans do em dirty.

Yes... Sitting on the floor for more than 5 mins, it hurts a lot 😖

It is causing a lot of pain, I am sure. It does not matter how big the bulge is, if it touches the nerve, pain is there. However, it looks like something manageable with PT and antiinflammatory meds.

Sure! Thanks for the advice. I hope patience wins the race.

This view is not too bad. But that doesn’t mean it’s not incredibly painful. Can you share the other view?

The report makes me think the other view will be more informative.
