I was rear ended in 1997. Had back issues for approximately 15 years afterwards.

Don't let them cut on you. Get the MRI, but do as much PT as possible before resorting to surgery.

I'm in my early 40's now and stronger than ever. No back issues for the last 10+ years. Surgery only if it is the difference between walking or not.

Would recommend a PM&R doc over a surgeon, for at least the initial evaluation. And everyone has "buldging disks" on MRI. Need a good physical exam coupled with the history and MRI to figure out where to go. Would not recommend surgery if just pain, and no weakness in the leg.
