In this study, we compare the outcomes of two patients with similar spinal pathologies who chose different treatment options. The first case involves a 38-year-old female with significant lumbar disc herniation and associated degenerative spinal changes, including type I Modic changes. She presented with sciatica and, after conservative treatments failed, underwent an endoscopic discectomy.
