Again Dubious is correct that a contrast would have been much more beneficial in this case, and may have helped them to see what the extrusion really is.

Correct. I understand that they don't and weren't going to remove the disc but I'm just thrown off by the issue popping back up worse than it was before after 2 years of being EXTREMELY cautious with my back... I'm a young person at 30 and am obvi not ready for non step bed rest or having to act like and 80 year old that can't pick up a grocery bag....
Do you guys think I should try to get this fixed considering the severe nerve pain and numbness/reflex issues in the opposite leg? Need advice bc I don't want to get pushed around by the doctors like last time.
