My wife's disc was like that. She tried a discectomy anyway. It was astronomically successful. Sadly, it was only successful for 3 months before the disc collapse got worse and she had leg pain on the other side. Her ADR surgery was successful. In retrospect, her's was one of the cases in which jumping straight to ADR would have been better. Bertagnoli told us that before her discectomy, but we thought we'd try anyway.
