I have just found out that I have a broad based disk bulge at L3-L4 with an annular tear. Mild facet hypertrophic changes are noted. Also there is a very small broad based disk bulge at L4-L5. As well as a degenerative changes at L5- S1. There is no stenosis or neural foraminal narrowing seen. no herniations. With this diagnosis, what treaments could I expect in the near future,or is this something that I will have to have surgery to correct? Thanl you.
