Hello

MRI findings may suggests degenerative changes in cervical spine.
Degenerative changes are generally age related findings.It is due to chronic stress on annulus fibrosis.

Degenerative disc disease is indicated by bulged disc at two levels and stenosis of neural canal.

Majority of degenerative disc disease patients are benefited by conservative treatment in the form of physiotherapy,analgesics and muscle relaxants.
Surgery is advised in non responding cases.
Physiotherapy helps in strengthening of paraspinal muscles and it prevents further changes.

Your findings also suggest two types of arthritis.You may need definitive treatment for arthritis depending upon type of arthritis.
Generally arthritis need life long treatment.

Get well soon.
Take Care
