Grade I degenerative subluxation at L4-5 with bulge, annular tear, prominent facet arthropathy. Mass effect on the right lateral recess nerve root w/crowding of the left. Stress injury of the pedicle & pars region of L5.

Next Tuesday I go to a pain clinic for a 2nd opinion on surgery. Any and all replies much appreciated!!
I had a L3-L5 laminectomy and it did the trick. Back pain is history but the peripheral Neuropathy remains.
