The lateral view is nice for a general overview, but it is from the horizontal slices, where you get the detailed information about the tear. The fact that only the one disc is so extreme may actually be a good thing. It is easier to fix an isolated spine problem with adr.

I find it peculiar too that traction creates pain for you. You may want to mention this to the surgeons. If they truly underatand the diagnosis, then they should be able to say why.
The height of l5 s1 is decreased a bit too imo, but it's still well hydrated, which is good.
