Neurologist 's  Response
Hi,

MRI spine shows compression of nerves in the lower back at multiple levels, which are mild to moderate. It is not bad. You have already had surgery as per the MRI report. So, as of now, treatment depends on symptoms, which would consist of medications and physiotherapy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist
