I've been diagnosed with a posterocentral extrusion at L45 with minimal caudal migration. The AP is 4, transverse is 7, and area is 28 SQ.MM at L45. I'm dealing with pain in my right thigh and backache from L45 down to S1. Wondering if rehab would work for me or if surgery is the better option. If surgery's needed, what's the success rate for my case?

I've been diagnosed with L5 S1 disc herniation and initially couldn't walk but now I can manage around 10 minutes. My neurologist recommended surgery is it safe to go through with it? How many days would I need to stay in the hospital and what's the approximate cost? I'm 25 years old.
If your disc is very bad and you are unable to walk or losing muscle power in feet and/or losing control of your pee/poo then you will definitely need surgery. If medicines help control the pain and you are functional then you can avoid surgery and go for conservative methods
