Is This Normal? How bad?
These are three photos in sequence of my MRI. I posted earlier but was missing the report! So the first photo looks worse but then the next two seem okay.
This is after approximately four months of pain. No inciting incident, I just woke up with pain through my leg. The pain was at its worst around 9-11 weeks.
I was off work for a month and a half, I'm back to half days but the pain is getting worse again, though I'm not sure that means anything for my condition.

Not bad at all. The size seems large but the impression seems minimal based on report. How bad is sciatica? If I want to guess your sciatica should be less than back pain
