Crystal, thanks for the post. My problem is not the disc bulge. I have a ton of room in the canal area, so I 'should' not be bothered by such a small bulge.

An endoscopic thoracic discectomy sounds interesting. Note that they are performing a foraminoplasty where they actually cut clean through the lamina in order to enlarge the canal area. Not too minimally invasive, but maybe better than the alternatives. I'd love to hear more about what they are doing.

PS... Keano... are you saying that you've heard wonderful things about Wooridul.
