Hello Doctor, Thanks for your reply.
It has been almost month and half I am posting question for regarding my back.
This is my MRI Finding

L5-S1
there is an evidence of previous surgery but no evidence of recurrent disc herniation or spinal stenosis.
L4-L5
there is a degenerative disc disease with some mild disc space narrowing. there is some mild facet arthropathy. there is mild posterior vertebral spurring. there is a large posterior central disc herniation a little bit more prominent on the left than right. due to technical factors this is little bit difficult to assess but there is no obvious enhancement at this level. there does appear to be severe compression of the thecal sac and compromising of the left lateral recess and to lesser extent compromise of the right lateral recess. there is a severe spinal stenosis. the neural foramen are patent.
This is my MRI Impression
“L4-L5” there is a posterior disc herniation causing severe compromise of the spinal canal and a severe spinal stenosis.

I have been told by the NS to go for L4/l5 left Microdisectomy

PAIN:- I have pain on the left but now its gradually moving more towards the right side then left .but pain exist on both side, I have tingling sensation in both left and right but more on the right side . from front of my thigh + right big toe and heel

My question will a left Disectomy will improve the conditions on right or it is only good for left side. or what can be done to make it fix on both sides in one surgery. my NS is on vacations for three weeks i would really appreciate your suggestions.
I have started going back to Gym walking or elliptical 35 minutes and then i perform back exercises and stretches but still have pain sitting in my back and buttocks and right thigh and tingling in my legs more on the right feet while sitting and more when i lay down flat on bed.

Thanks in advance for your reply. and please also tell me how can i see you with my MRI . I live in Canada

Thanks
