Please help me decipher this MRI

A little background about me: I'm 25 years old, otherwise healthy female. I had a girl 16 months ago and ever since her birth I have been having mild to moderate pain starting in my right hip radiating down my leg to my toes. I have just tolerated the pain for over a year now. About 3 months ago, I noticed it getting more and more severe. I couldn't work for more than 2 hours without the pain causing me to grit my teeth. (I walk a lot at work)

I went to my PCP two weeks ago after walking at the mall and my leg went very numb (like the feeling that I had an epidural) and was in excruciating pain.
He recommended an MRI ASAP given the neurological change.

I had an MRI last wednesday and this is what the report says:

The verebral marrow signal intensity appears unremarkable. The conus medularis ends at the level of T12-L1. There is spondylosis of the lower lumbar spine.

L1/L2, L2/L3, L3/L4, L4/L5 no disc protrusion, central canal or foraminal stenosis.

L5/S1 moderate right paracentral extending laterally disc herniation posterior displaces the traversing right S1 nerve root producing right sub reticular recess. Moderate right foraminal, mild to moderate central canal stenosis.

Impression:
L5/S1 moderate right paracentral extending laterally disc herniation posterior displaces the traversing right S1 nerve root producing right sub reticular recess. Moderate right foraminal, mild to moderate central canal stenosis.

My doctor recommended PT and to see a pain mgmt specialist for an epidural. I had my first session of PT today and hopefully the exercises will help alleviate some of the pain. I'm going to go 2-3 times a week. When the PT evaluated me, she seemed pretty concerned because a lot of the ROM things she did to my right leg I failed at (I couldn't push against her hand with my foot rotated inwards, push up or down on her hand either) It feels kind of funny though surrounded by people that are 3 times my age. Haha...

I have an appt scheduled with a pain mgmt specialist next week for an evaluation and possible epidural.
I've been taking naproxen 500mg BID for about 3 months now with very very little pain relief. My MD prescribed vicodin but I really don't want to take them as they make me super groggy and I can't function on them (even cut in half).

He said in a few weeks if I have increased neurological symptoms or the pain doesn't respond to these approaches he wants me to go see a neurosurgeon.

Has anyone else had findings similar to these? What did you do? What were your outcomes? I'm nervous that PT/meds/epidural won't work since it has been so long that I have had this pain and I have increasing numbness/weakness.

Thanks for any input.
