[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for the query I have noted your complaints and MRI data. All these MRI findings should not make you worried All these are important if there are clinical neurodeficits.  A local neurologist can determine if you have any deficits or not. If there are neurodeficits and pain dose not improve with conservative treatment you may go for surgery You need a short course of analgesics and physiotherapy Best wishes
