Mark-what an impressive disc sequestration! Like I advised earlier on the phone, I agree that she should wait in the face of minimal symptoms. The first rule of spine menicine is "less is more", and the second rule is d"don't treat an x-ray." She still has good disc height and hydration, and I wouldn't be too anxious to dive into surgery. Let's face it...surgeons keep me in business because of their carelessness or lack of knowledge beyond performing the actual procedure itself. For all the reasons we dicussed earlier I do agree with the folks you've already talked to-wait and see how this progresses. Good luck and let me know if I can be of any help.
