I am DR SAAD SULTAN and will be answering your query.
I have gone through your query and being your physician i totally understands your health concerns.
It depends upon the symptoms. generally a conservative approach is advocated. If the symptoms are severe then surgical intervention is needed.
Avoid exertion , bending, Lifting heavy objects.
kindly get the another interpretation of MRI from another RADIOLOGIST.
kindly meet orthopedic surgeon for second opinion.
Meanwhile stay calm and use acetaminophen to relieve pain.
Hope your query is adequately addressed , if you still have any feel free to ask anytime.
