Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your symptoms and MRI spine findings.First, I would like to reassure you that there is no need to worry about your MRI spine findings, as it does not show any serious problems. There is bulging of discs causing compression of nerves in the neck region. This can result in neck pain and pain in the arms. You would get better with pregabalin or gabapentin capsules. In addition, you should also start neck physiotherapy. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/
