Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted that you have undergone microscopic discectomy about eight years ago, without complete relief of pain. At present, your main complaints are persistent pain. As per your MRI report, there still is disc prolapse at L5-S1 level with pinching of the nerve at that level. We need to examine you in details, and also go through your MRI films to come to a conclusion. I would feel that you do not require another surgery now. The best options for you would be medical treatment with physiotherapy. I would be pleased to see you at Apollo Hospitals, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad. I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. Ly/
