If the pain radiates down the back of thigh and legs then it might be due to sciatica. Kindly consult the nearby physiotherapist. Hope you recover soon from the leg pain.

Surgery is reserved for pain that does not get controlled with conservative measures and provided the disc prolapse is causing nerve root compression. Your mri does not sound that drastic. Consult a spine surgeon who may offer you epidural steroid injection and that will also help him decide if surgery can be useful for you.
