Pain in arms, HERNIATED DISCS IN MRI. Risk of surgery.

Resolved question:
Hello,

I am a 32 year old male in overall good health. I was recently diagnosed with herniated disks: The MRI report is attached. My symptoms have been getting worse over the last four weeks. They include pain in both arms and some intermittent tingling in my left hand.

My main question is whether I should go for surgery or try a more conservative method.

Also, I am wondering whether I am currently at risk of further injury including paralysis.

Thank you for your response,

Jim
