[|AI|]  Hi Hope this message finds you in good health. I have gone through your query and understand your concern. If the CT contrast study shows no Chat Doctor. I do not feel personally, that you need a surgery at the moment. Intervertebral disc disease can be treated by non-operative means like Physiotherapy, lumbar traction Laser therapy...etc. I hope this answer was useful. Get back to me for any FOLLOW-UP QUERIES anytime. Wish you a speedy recovery. Thank you.
