Long time sufferer of sciatica/slip disc scan is from last year, in the next few weeks will be having another MRI scan as had another episode ( kin painful)
My next course after MRI is to meet with surgeon to discuss options.
Consultant I see at the mo thinks MRI will be similar to last years.
I really don't want surgery and would like to try and get better without.
I'm not a back expert apart from pain expert !
Do these results look bad ? ( even from last yr) bearing in mind they will probably be similar in a few weeks.
Any help regarding results would be good

Yes this is true ,would like to go armed with knowledge
They will only operate if they think it is absolutely essential, ask them what the worst case scenario is if you choose not to.
