[|AI|]  Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! I carefully reviewed your MRI reports and would explain that the main finding is a fiscal herniation in the distal segment of the spinal cord (L5-S1), causing a compression of the nerve root in these levels. Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with a neurosurgeon on the possibility of surgery. Meanwhile, I would recommend having some bed rest and avoiding standing up or sitting position. Painkillers (acetaminophen and ibuprofen) would help relieve the pain. Hope to have been helpful! Kind regards,
