Hello,
I understand your concern and would agree that surgery would help to definitely solve the problem, as it helps remove the bulging disc and relieve the pain.
But, I would first recommend medical therapy and steroid epidural injection in order to help improve the situation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
