Is Mild Disk Protrusion A Matter Of Concern?
I just had an MRI on my lower back because I have had hip and knee pain for a year and all X-rays showed nothing. The results came back and I have mild disk protrusion and there may be a tear on sac surrounding spinal column.. My doctors advice is to see a neurologist. Is this serious, do I need to see a doctor immediately, should I be limited in my physical activities?

In my opinion mild disc protrusion is not a matter for concern , but suspecting tear in spinal sac is a concern , you can wear a back brace of you wana delay your neurologist meating buf you can not completely ignore it
Good Luck
