Hello, The MRI report of yours shows that there is disc protrusion and compression over the nerve roots. Your symptoms are explained by this compression. The treatment options include medications, surgery and physiotherapy. Physiotherapy is necessary in all patients. If there are no definite deficits (like sensory loss or weakness) then trial of medications with bed rest can help most of the patients. If medications are not helping or if there are deficits, then surgery is recommended. You neurologist/ neurosurgeon/ spine surgeon can guide you on this. Good luck.
