Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Your Mri report is suggestive of a reduced disc space which causes a nerve root compression leading to pain you are having. There are various treatment options like pain killers, muscle relaxants, epidural injections, physiotherapy and surgery. Your orthopedician can guide you regarding the best treatment.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
