Hello!
Welcome on HCM!
I carefully reviewed your MRI reports and would explain that the main finding is a discal herniation in the distal segment of the spinal cord (L5-S1), causing a compression of the nerve root in this 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, Dr. Aida
