That's the way I understood it. Unless he felt the discs were not that bad off, but I still feel a constant pain on the right side in the back and upper glute. Maybe your onto that Chemical leakage you were talking about. Only toe and sciatic pain with increased activity or prolonged sitting really flares it up.
Time will tell.
