[|AI|]  Hello, In order to make recommendations regarding what needs to be done you should provide some information on your age, symptoms and evolution in time, other conditions etc. We treat patients not MRIs, decisions are made based on mainly clinical factors rather than imaging data. Generally speaking, the first step would be painkillers if needed and physical therapy. I wouldn't advise surgery based on that imaging report. Surgery doesn't do anything for disc desiccation. It only helps when a nerve compression is described which is in persistent pain for many weeks despite other measures or with a neurological deficit may need to be removed by surgery. No compression is described in that report (fortunately) so I would continue with the above initial measures. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
