For those of you who are wondering, here is a picture of my disc herniation. I will likely need surgery soon (im mostly bed ridden). Since ive been unable to find any american doctor willing to even talk to me I had to learn to read MRIs on my own and identify a herniation. After some studying , and tinkering with the software to slice and view 3d MRI files I finally found a slice that shows the herniation. I exported the image and it is highlighted for those of you who cant read MRIs.
