What does a moderate size nonenhancing portion extends from the disk posterolaterally on the right. This compromises the neural foramen and thecal sac. This is on the L5-S1 area. I have been in really bad pain for a week now and it will be another week before I can be seen by a doctor. Is this bad?

This probably a herniated disc, pressing on the nerve as it exits form the spinal column.  Ideally you should discuss the findings and treatment options with the doctor who ordered the MRI
