I've been diagnosed with lumbar bulges in three spots along with a protrusion and lipohemangioma from my MRI. The sharp pain runs from my buttock down to my thigh when I walk or stand, but no other symptoms for now. My doctor recommended surgery, but I'm unsure should I get a second opinion from an ortho or neuro specialist?

Yes, getting a second opinion is a wise move when facing a surgery recommendation, especially with a complex diagnosis like yours. It's crucial to understand the potential benefits and risks of surgery compared to conservative treatments. A second opinion can provide valuable insights and help you make a well-informed decision.

My dad is 59 and has had sciatica pain from a slipped disc between L4-L5 for 10 years. Doctors recommended surgery but said it might not last and could have lifelong risks, so we stuck with physio and meds. Now he's getting numbness and pain in his leg and fingers. Should we consider surgery now or keep trying physio and meds?

New numbness and worsening sciatica after long-term conservative care may indicate nerve compression—surgical decompression may now offer better relief and prevent damage.
