edit - sorry I didn't realise this was an old thread, ignore pls.
Gday if you are concerned about nerve damage in the intervening period contact your gp or specialist and inform them of your symptons. I wouldn't worry too much unless you lose any bladder or bowel control, this is cauda equina impingement and is a medical emergency.
But really don't worry there are plenty of people who walk around on drop foot and numbness for a lot longer than a month without permanent nerve damage.
I don't know why you're thinking adr straight away, if surgery is deemed necessary disc replacement isn't likely the first option for those symptons. A second opinion probably wouldn't hurt either, you don't want to get mislead by a dodgy doc when things start going numb and the rest of it.
